both neck n bridge are important
but it oso depend on ur field of playing

alexi laiho oni use 1 pickup at the bridge
so? how ya tink?


but for maixmum versatility u cud have both pups
and the vol tone reli givs u more options tonally
jz havta make use of it

No, the FX-260 is only a little above RM2k IINM. Or was it RM1.8k.

confirm sx explorer is goin for 800. can nego one la . saw it at Technics 1u.. (the one beside pizza hut old wing)

lotsa jap rock guitarists use emg-60 at neck..
81 is more sharp i guess..

Then i wonder what model that was at Guitar Collection


kalau macam tu.....i can get it soon LOL since initial budget was RM3K


Most probably February or March.

Option 1.
Should I get SX Explorer(sorry dont know if there is any model name or code) and change pups perhaps?
Initially was interested in SH-8 but was thinking of giving 81/85 a try =D

For a better palm muting crunch....which one will be better? I like heavy =)


Option 2
Get ESP LTD Explorer(dont know which model yet)
I like the white color one. EX 50 was it?

Don't forget, the pickups are already going to cost your about RM700+

READ : LARGE IMAGE



Spalted maple has that crude wooden look, different than Hetfields wood finish.
I actually think it looks pretty good.

you do know spalted is just a fancy name for rotten?

Yeah, and it's weird that guitars that actually made of rotten wood or oxidized metal can look good! Love the pointy headstock too!

hhm somehow the one i saw earlier seems brighter..

the image u shown looks good..darker tone

I personally prefer the EX than the FX.

spalted not my thing.

the setneck plays great though.

its weird that ppl will actually pay so much for something thats rotting

..... that did not occur to me.
DANG
