i have a SX lespaul copy..
and i feel like upgrading it
i checked out the EMG-ZW set = rm750
is it okay to just change the pickups?
cos some ppl said that the body will affect the sound... etc
and chapalang guitars cant handle powerful pickups or sumthing lidat

cos im on a tight budget, and to get a new good guitar would cost me more than 1k...
so im asking all the pro opinions here.. thxx

battery? where does the battery fit in?
my SX LP body has compartments for switch, and the knobs at the back of the body only..

which one? A or B?

some ppl say not good to fit EMGs into SX guitars..izit a waste?
cos got one salesman said.. "aiya if even if u put SD or EMGs, ppl still see the headstock 'SX'...also don realy respect la"
n im not very pro in guitar also.. i just started playing for 2 weeks after stopping for 1 n half years.
now im tryin to learn some techniques by myself.. i stil dunno much of alternate picking, tapping..
usually for metal sound (81/85 combo) is for fast songs izit?

sorry arr.. im a big noob here..
so will the batteries fit into the compartment or not?

now i'm tight on budget..so i cant get around 1k for a bcrich..tryin to save $$ + do odd jobs for 2 months to get my rm750

its not like im expecting it to sound like gibson+emg.. just wana get a better heavier sound out of my guitar, then im happy already.

and since i can swap the pups to another guitar in the future, i dont mind investing 750 in it.

another thing is that im really comfortable with my guitar now..

thanks for all ur comments......
i'll just earn up that 750 first.. then only decide whether to change the pickups.
right now i'll just concentrate on improving..
