You might want to change the Topic's Title to "Pickups Question" instead of "tips on how to choose the right guitar"

I editied the Topic's Title so that everyone has a clear understand on what this topic is all about .... Pickups biggrin.gif

I'm fine with the Single Coils. They sound "clear" and "clean" aslo does a pretty good job when in overdrive ... of course Humbuckers are better with Overdrive.

It's really depends on what you're playing. If u're like blacktrix who plays every songs with overdrive .... he would prefer those Humbuckers.

BTW: I got credit for Fizik SPM ..... biggrin.gif

DiMarzio (check at Woh Fatt, they just got some new stock for the new year thumbup.gif)
Evolution 7 DP704 (bridge)
Tone Zone 7 DP755 (bridge)
Air Norton 7 DP793 (neck)

Seymour Duncan
SH-2 jazz 7 (neck) (Bentley got few, better call them, limited units since that haven't bring in new stock yet)
SH-4 jb 7 (bridge) (same as above)
SH-6 duncan distortion 7 (bridge) (same as above)
SH-8 invader 7 (bridge) (same as above)

I just make some phone calls and what i know it's up there.

They didn't tell me how many units they have coz they're not sure, so better you call them up and go down and see for yourself. biggrin.gif

Wrong thread dude .... post your request at the Price List Thread.

I think someone posted the price for that pickup long time back .... just do a search in this forum. icon_rolleyes.gif

i'm thinking of changing my LP-100 stock pick up to EMG-HZ or Seymour Duncan SH-12......and leave the neck pick up slot empty... what u guys think of it....

You mean you want to change only one pickup ? blink.gif

If you are then .... it looks weird having one pickup slot empty .... its like wearing one shoe instead of a pair ...

I think it will effect your sound too ..... coz you cant use the 3 switch selector

Singapore???Ebay or shop direct???

If Ebay maybe can try those ebayer's that sells around RM600++ with shipping...

I would suggest buying online. Save the trouble of the customs and thier taxs.

Besides, like what blacktrix said .... not much difference in price.
