Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

I can't see the pups that good, but I believe you!

I heard that Zakk started his career on a SD JB element.

:smoker:
 
Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

His RR V has a Duncan Jazz/Distortion in it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the axe he's using there has whatever pickup EVH used.
 
Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

that's a wayne rock legend he's playing...that guitar is owned by the guitarist in the atomic punks...anyway, waynes come from the factory with a duncan JB in the bridge...so unless the guitar player swapped it out for something else...that's what's in there....
 
Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

I think Zakk's RR has a JB in the bridge, because it's got the exact same specs as Randy's original... didn't he use a JB?

Better refer to element as pick up, element is dutch for pick up you see :)

Hehe a bunch of us Zakk fans were thinking how weird it would be to see Zakk play a strat since he's huge and the only guitars seeming to fit him are the Explorer an Les Paul model, and there it is :laugh2: . Gotta tell you, I always thought the moment Zakk'd play a strat the thing would break in half, but it seems to be holding up pretty good :laugh2:
 
Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

No, the RR has a DD in the bridge, like ScreamingDaisy said. Jazz in the neck is correct, as well. He's said it in multiple interviews.

At Ozzfest over the summer, he pulled out the RR, and it sounded better than the EMG's, more real and organic.

The pic's small, you can right click/save as and zoom in pretty well though.

Didn't EVH use an old humbucker from a Gibson ES-175?
 
Re: Who say's Zakk only plays EMG's

ok now that's just odd seeing a strat style guitar in the hands of ZW...it just doesn't fit, it looks like a toy since i'm so used to seeing him with LPs.
