The SA160 is discontinued adi.It features mahogany body,HSS,SAT30 bridge.

DiMarzios are active pups right?I dunno,but I guess EMGs are outta my list.They don't sound as chunka chunka in SS amps.Is that true?

Methinks that you should go either for high-power DiMarzios (Evolution, X2N etc) or active EMGs (81, 85, 89). Stay away from the passive EMGs (no offence, SweetTooth! icon_rolleyes.gif ) if you're looking for that high-output sound.

Yeah,I tried the LP but I personally didn't like the feel.Hard to admit because I really love the tone and looks of the LP.I'd take feel over tone.

Well, like Everdying said, the LP sounds like that because it's one big slab of mahogany, whereas the SA is a thin slab.

But with good EQ and good gain I'm sure you can get bone-crushing tone from the SA. (Although maybe in a direct A/B comparison, the LP will most likely sound fuller.)

Personally, I'd take feel over tone too. I think a guitar that's comfortable and nice to play with goes a long way compared to one with "better" tone. Remember, you're not going to get a Gibson LP with to-die-for tone at that price range!

(Ok ok, I admit, I detest the LP! Probably as much as Everdying detests the RG! laugh.gif )

isnt the dimarzio x2n a passive alternative for those who want EMG active sound?
and the H4 sux anyway, and thats comparing it to passive duncans tongue.gif

Nah, that's usually the D-Activators. X2N gives high output like EMG actives, but not the sound...

but you also detest the RG right?
else you're not a jackson fan tongue.gif

What pups should I get for HSS?

I only know the Duncans SH-4 and TB-4.Both pulak humbuckers.I want something damn metal(other than EMGs) for the bridge and something that is jazzy for the neck.
*
X2N bridge. You can't get more metal than that! laugh.gif

No idea about the neck though... SD Jazz maybe? (Well it's called "Jazz"...) doh.gif
