I'd be interested to hear how you like it, or how you are gonna change it. Putting those Duncans in would be the first step!

So i decided i am going to keep it stock for the mean time and then go from there if I dont care for the Super3. I should get the guitar back from the shop this coming weekend.

What's it in the shop for?

Just a simple setup. I usually don't do setup work on my guitars. My tech guy is super cheap and very good. I do some pickup swaps myself but im not going to touch the mint electronics in this thing.

SO I do like some aspects of the Super 3-super tight and great thrash metal palm mutes/heavy playing however, the lead tone is meh IMO. It sort of has that congested "cough" thing going on. There is like no treble with this thing either-almost have to crank the treble to get a good upper range response.

With that said, im definitely going with the Custom Shop Super 8 in this. I think it would compliment it very well.
