changing for the sake of changing makes no sense.
u need to know what u want.
clearer notes at high gain?
better lows?
cleaner cleans?

whatever.

like sound to be more heavy..
and brighter at the same time

dimarzio air classic or air zone..

its not the heaviest but its bright..

air classic has fender like brightness in it..

Duncan Invaders

In all honesty, me and Ever are still EMG people and would probably recommend either 2x EMG 81 or an EMG 81/60 combo......

If you don't want actives, maybe Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz combos would be better.

But keep in mind, it's about an RM500-700 investment, and that's not including installation charges......

IMHO, Those Duncan Design pickups would be enough for a novice player already.

actually, my fav combo is 85/60A...just that got no guitar to go in yet but the set is lying around...
the one with EMGs now is a 85/SLV combo.

wow 500-700 quite expensive
might as well change a new guitar
coz mine is just a squire
but still thnx bro
i'm considering duncan invaders
how much would it cost??

RM500-700.
It's about Rm250-RM350 per piece brand new...... depending where you buy them.
Maybe Singapore would be cheaper, or one of our sellers around here have some stock left.

But even a Squier guitar can sound and play amazing with the proper care. Heck, I still use my LP-100 for riffing........ but that's after maybe RM1.5k worth of upgrades....

Also, your Squier is quite unique in the fact that the SG-like shape is pretty rare for Fender's taste.

I still think EMGs would sound sweet in this baby.

no dimarzio people?hehe

ok will consider that also thanx alot bro
will try n search at bentley how much they'll charge

Go to dimarzio.com and use the 'pickup picker'. I absolutely love their website.

an easy guide is:
find an example of the artist/guitarist that u like, then look up for his guitar set up. easy mah.
but that's doesn't count other factors though..

btw nice guitar u have there!

B-T-Dub, Invaders will give you quite bad cleans.......
If you want sparkling cleans, look elsewhere. It just breaks it up way to easy.

hehe thanx
surely i wan the pickup like herman li
hahaha eventhough cant play like thaT

but need to consider my guitar spec as well

how bout installing the pickup.???

if herman li, then go dimarzio evo la
ermm.. dyi kit, can la, sending out to ppl doing it for u will save some trouble. whichever u feel comfortable with

Unless you're good with a solder and know your way around guitar electronics, you better send it to a shop to get it fix.

DiMarzio Evos, are really powerful pickups and can pickup every single minute detail of your playing. If you're a sloppy player (like me), you can see it as a curse, because it can really amplify your mistakes.

wow that pickup is damn sensitive..
maybe i'l try the v7 v8 pickup by ibanez
covered n not that expensive also..
anyone using this pickup
or hav tried it
plz help comment???

evo is a bit microphonic bcoz the output is big..

seymour duncan sh4 & sh 1n or dimarzio d activator x

anyone has tried the ibanez v7/v8??
can tell me is it good???

Your Duncan Designed Humbuckers are probably better than those.

i suggest u use professional service to install them.
because i killed my electronic circuits while i was disassembly my guitar..
thank god it was a cheap one..

oh really..
so maybe i dont need to change them..
i'm planning to go to guitar store at dmnsara perdana
if really wanna change should go for emg i guess..
but wats the difference btween emg active and passive one
like emg hz h4 h4a..??which one better??
the battery how long would it last??
