Gotta love a guitar that lets you do everything all the way from Metallica to Sepultura!

That was either a joke (and a funny one) or a sincere comment from a very focused individual.

Well I know taste is something personal, but I do like EMGs for metal, Zakk's set is good, I like it, though I prefer the 60 rather than the 85. Anyway, I think you should go for a metal looking guitar, any metal look is fine. For EMG actives guitar wood and shape do not have great influence, so choose whatever guitar amuses your eyes!

That is why I use EMGs in my BC Rich Virgin platinum. The guitar was a cheapy ebay score originally bought for a friend as a project guitar; he returned it to me when he could not pay me back the full purchase price.
Anyhow, the guitar body is like friggin' basswood ply, not exactly an ideal good cut of tone wood. The combination of EMGs at 18 volts, an Ibanez Edge bridge, and a nice, solid, copper sustain block give it some decent resonance.
I tell if an active loaded guitar is using an 81, 60, 85, Blackouts, blackout metal, and can at sorta differentiate between rosewood and ebony, but find it is more difficult to differentiate body woods other than the combo of 85s in mohogany's distinct lows.

Re: Guitar for an EMG set
everyone always says that actives sound the same no matter what guitar they are in. what they seem to forget is that every guitar plays and feels different. it is worth getting a nice guitar to stick some actives in if it's a guitar you will use and play more than you are doing now, especially if there are other pickups you could put in the guitar they are currently in that would match your vibe better.
