What they said. You either need to mic an amp, or get some kind of direct recording device that will emulate an amp or speaker. Some ideas:
1) $30 Behringer GDI21. Cheap copy of a SansAmp G2, but it's better than nothing. No delay or reverb FX.
2) $100 Behringer V-Amp2 or Zoom G2. Cheapest digital amp modelers out there, and not bad. Delay & reverb.
3) $150 A real SansAmp G2. No delay or reverb FX.
4) $200 and up - Various POD flavors, SansAmp PSA1, Vox ToneLab, etc.
Or, you can use small "headphone practice amps" like Korg's Pandora line or Zoom's PS-02. New models come out all the time, so eBay is loaded with cheaper older ones that can still do the job. These don't typically sound as good as bigger modelers, IMO.
There are also software programs & plugins that emulate guitar amps. I have no experience there, and IMO a piece of hardware is more flexible for practicing, etc.

Well the point wasn't to sound like krap or to make a record, but to ask a question as to how I sound. Me and a friend (that does this thing for the military) put my guitar together with the new pickups, and tested everything. But somehow my chord playing sounds muddy. I play a variety. It sounds muddy when plugged directly into anything. I'm starting to wonder if I should be emailing SD to see if I need different pickups, because I'm getting discouraged.
