Oh yeah, I mean, he's been back since Formation, so he's obviously played his share of Low or Gathering songs live since he rejoined.

Skolnick actually wasn't in the band for Low, but I get what you mean. :)

I haven't tried them but I'm curious too! They've obviously gotta be hot and tight enough to handle Testament.

I would tend to agree. Funnily enough, I also have a Full Shred in the bridge of my DK24 and I don't have an issue with it when it comes to dat chug life. But it does require some EQ love to get into decent chug territory.

I dig this, but I'd want to be able to split the BW bridge. It splits so well!

The access to Bluetooth is there, but you have to pay extra for the proprietary Bluetooth widget. (which I didn't.)

Nice! I've got a Katana 100 Gen 3 and I love it. Great value and yeah, EQ2 is your/our friend.

Agreed. I don't actually own an SSS guitar, though I wouldn't be opposed to it for specific applications and genres. In the end, though, my bridge probably needs to be a humbucker. Whether it's splittable or not depends on what I'm using the guitar for.

Agreed! An actually playable single-cut -- moderate weight, with comfort cuts and a slim neck with a smaller heel joint -- is something I always appreciate. I don't know why some guitar manufacturers assume that wanting to play a Les Paul shape guitar automatically means you want a guitar that...

No actives. No non-classic shapes. Can't weigh a ton. No neck dive. No sharp fret ends. No V neck profiles. I have to vibe with the neck or it's a no-go. I can get used to anything else but the neck has to feel good in my hand. No 7-, 8-, or 9-string nonsense. No trem system. No ultra-chonky...

Busted out the LTD EC-1000 tonight for some brush-up work on tremolo picking.
