Looks and sounds great! The stock pickups were okay, but I went ahead and upgraded mine to some Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omegas. Very happy with them.
I know what you mean. Seymour Duncan makes some great pickups have some in my Washburn
bought this guitar a few years back and it’s a fucking beast man it plays way better than how much it is
It is man such a great guitar for the price. My favorite one out of all my guitars
@@ChiefSweet dude same. i changed the pickups for some stephen carpenter signatures and the tone is insane i love it
@@dylanchesworth3509 Hell yeah! I have some expensive guitars too and I go to this one first everytime it’s just too fun to play.
@@ChiefSweet is this better than the the cheap jackson dk7
I think the stock pickups are also very good. If you don’t have a complete cheap guitar with shitty pickups you don’t need to switch the pickups. The only weakness of the emgs is the neck. So i would put a single coil in this position.
Yeah the stock pickups are great! The only problem was they were really quiet when playing clean.
@@ChiefSweet my problem with the emgs is. the 85 in the neck isnt so good. I would like to have a p90 type of humbucker in it. But i cant find any. Perhaps a single coil will do it. But Im not sure how it sounds if both pickups are activated. The idea of schecter is great. I love the sustanica in the neck position.
I been wanting to get a schecter myself. Heard they are great
chiefsweet you. are. just. amazing. .... learned so much today... even tho i dont play guitar... that is top notch infotainment :D :D :D
My man camelion! I appreciate you a lot. 🍻🍻
For opening up Vol. and tone Control holes i bought a cheap tapered reamer. A lot of the Alpha pots or import have smaller diameter than the CTS and other usa made pots. The tapered reamers seams to do a good job without chipping the paint. The white looks great on your guitar good choice.
That’s genius! I should have done that. Next time i shall. Thank you 😊
EMG Pickups? So you are going Devin Townsend on us, Chief? :D Sounds absolutely beautiful, my man!
Oh yeah devin knows the good stuff.
can u make longer version video? =D subscribed! good work
That’s exactly right man!! My brother is into cars big time ! Can take one completely apart and put back together again with no problem! But I’m a guitar man! I’ve built guitars , upgraded guitars and whatever else .. it’s just my thing lol. After I explained it my family finally understands lol.
Hell yeah brother! We are just guitar guys
Yep White looks great!!!
Thank you 😊
Awesome!
How did you route for the pickups to fit in the other guitar shown around 5 minute mark?
Sounds amazing man, thinking I’m gonna upgrade for my white ibanez bc I would KILL for that white on white 🤤
That would be sick
i want to put fishman flunce in mine the stock pickups on this guitar are servicable but its the perfect springboard for custmization
Stock pickups were good distorted, cleans were super quiet. The emgs rounded the tone so it wasnt shrill and the cleans were really good
Great ears! That’s exactly what happened
stock pickups sounds brighter?
Recently bought a emg 81 7h for my 7 string the one concern I have is if the pickup will fit in the pick up will fit because the pickups are direct mounted and are regular humbuckers
Ahh I know what you mean had to chip away some wood once when I upgraded lol.
What do you recommend more?, EMG or a seymour duncan?, I want to make the improvement but I am afraid to spend money on something that is not very different, I have the same guitar and I want it to sound like an iron label and with quality cleaners, the pickups out of stock have too much gain and sound very dirty
That depends a lot on what you want to play. I like emgs because I play a lot of metal not really anything clean. I have a les Paul and strat with Seymour Duncan’s they sound amazing clean. They also sound great with gain but I think EMG is better.
I like your lets summon demons shirt
I did the exact same thing with exact same parts on my 7 string Ltd.
Hell yeah
@@ChiefSweet damn the stocks aren't bad, the Ltd ones were a bit bright and slightly thin. Emgs are still an upgrade 👌
These guitars look sweet...
I prefer stock pickups
The distorted stock sound was amazing but clean was terrible. It was so low output you could barely hear the high strings. That was it’s only problem
Noo :v emg is better
Dude.. I completely cave every time
It’s so hard not too.
@@ChiefSweet it really is … then the next challenge is timing the packages to arrive when the wife isn’t home…(it’s best she doesn’t know about that habit)been down that road before..
@@crsmade haha the waiting is the best part too tho. Like Christmas
@@ChiefSweet I’m actually banned from getting Xmas gifts - because of the habit mentioned above.😂
@@crsmade 😂
do you actually make enough cartoon noises on the trem to warrant punishing yourself with making tuning and changing strings bigger pains in the ass than they already are
am I the onyl one who prefered the stock pups lol
Nope they had a very nice sound. Even I miss them sometimes
Babymetal cover coming soon?
Tons of covers coming soon 🍻
@@ChiefSweet epic
Bruh that is so much gain
I NEED the gain! Lol
@@ChiefSweet xD
Get a pair of Lundgren m7s and then you should be good nothing like a real set of pickups lol
Jesus the way he says "Dremel" is annoying. It's "dreh-mul" not "Dreh-mail". Ok, now I can go back to the video.
Your stock pickups sounded way better you wasted.your cash the emgs sound lifeless
I feel like a dick saying this man but the Jackson dka for $200 just looks better (satin not glossy, never like glossy). The Ibanez just looks fruity and generic. But good video kind of!
No problem man. Everyone likes different things and that’s awesome. I still want to grab a Jackson dinky myself.
One setback of a satin paintjob is the gloss spots that develop over time
Am I the only one who opted out of the stimulus check as I was smart enough to know tax season 2023 is gonna be a nightmare for you guys. Also, I don't take money I didn't earn. Now I take it back, this video, not so good.
