Re: The Guitar Topic - B
imapiratearg:
Duncan Designed means they're made by Seymour Duncan (and probably pretty ace, too), and EMG means it's got a set of EMG active pickups, which are battery powered. Unless EMG makes a passive pickup and I don't know about it...
Cernunnos:
The duncan-designed pickups are built in Korea, wheras the rest of their line is USA made. EMG actually does produce passive pickups, but chances are if he's looking at a Schecter they are probably active.

is there a way to know whats a better choice for me (beginner trying to learn alt/goth/doom/whatever metal and rock)???
I just dont want to be stuck with a pretty pile of crap again...
and i want to stay under a grand....
so from my previous posts in this thread I have arrived at Schecter as my main brand.
and I'm looking at C-1 hellraisers and blood moons, and damien-6 (though the mark up on the damien for a left version seems to be 200 bucks, whereas the C-1 lefty's have a 50 buck mark up in most places.)
looks matter slightly, and NO tremolos... i just... I NEED to spend my money a little more wisely this time...
and I have no clue what all those pick-up's excell/fail at...
E. Spaceman:
get the pointiest guitar you can find.
Bearer:
So, I recently acquired the blueprints for a Jazzmaster, and am seriously considering making one (though a proper one at that), or getting a shit one off ebay and imagining it. Thinking a P90, single coil, and a humbucker as the three pickups (in that order, neck to bridge) with a 3 way switch wired to the neck and bridge, and the single coil wired to a blender knob. Perhaps throw a Bigsby on there for good measure. I like my guitars to be eclectic as fuck, make all sorts of crazy sounds.
