it has ibanez duncans in it..and its superb...
i cant describe how it sounds...its like appetizers to my ears....
compared to mine..mine really sink to the sea-bed...
tried my fren's pgm too..and its awesome...

now, my dilemma is..
should i get a new guitar or change the pup-pies on my guitar?
cuz its my 1st guitar..i'll nvr ever gonna sell it...

I'd go for a new 2nd hand guitar.

Or upgrade your amp.I read from ultimate-guitar,that 80% of tone comes from the amp.However in lyn,it's different.I dunno lah,wait for some of the pros here to explain.If you plan to change pups,what pups are you gonna get?

thanks for the replies guys!! tongue.gif
Sorry for the late reply,was busy with my exams...
urm..what wood is it made of? err..i'm not sure...bass wood i guess?? cuz my model is ag-181, and could only find ag-180 in the net..so i guess its using the same wood...
the configuration is H/S/H btw..
if i'll be changin the pups..should b changin the two humbuckers..
i play alternative,punk,metalcore,classic rock..and a tiny bit of blues when i'm in the mood...
sigh..dilemma dilemma dilemma...
