Buying an SX JUST for EMG pickups, not worth it at all.
SX Guitar around Rm650..... Pickups are like RM700 already. Installation is another RM100 (RM50 for each pickup) at most place.
That's like RM1450 already.
You can get a low end RG or even a Jackson for that amount...... and their pickups isn't that bad either.

The MH50 isn't that worth it for the amount you're paying. I personally tried it, and it feels...... below average. I'd rather get a Jackson if I'm paying that much.

Not below 1k. Around RM1450....... the price you'll pay for an SX with EMGs.

Maybe a Dinky JS or a RR JS........ Should be around the 1.5k price mark.

Yes... but not the JS series. You can go there and inquire, or check with Dead Eye.

So, learning to solder and assemble new pickups is easier then learning to tune a floyd rose tongue.gif

Hahahahah..... just joking man....

And normally, the heavier the wood, the better the sustain....... but there are so many variables (bridge, pickups, strings, neck) that it's hard to say that nowadays.

Normally, the wood of choice is Mahogany for heavy guitars.
