    Perfect combo. I designed and prototyped that guitar (and pickups) through a very similar setup. Can't go wrong with a 5150 sig. I use a boost with mine, but it doesn't really need it.

  • @OyvindBjorgo
    @OyvindBjorgo 4 года назад +1

    I really enjoyed the sound of the split humbucker with heavy distortion. It could be a pretty good way to create sonic differences between riffs. I might have to look into putting some of Keith's fluences on one of my guitars once I get the money.
    Also, May the 4th be with you.

    I have a KM6 Mk2 and it’s one of the brightest, clankiest sounding guitars I’ve ever owned. It takes some getting used to, but when you get a cool tone it really rips. Seems the Mk3 is just as bright and brittle, but with a beefy enough tone it can work.
