For that kind of guitar the action is so LOW..... its amazing how low it is. Get some fretbuzz but you get that everywhere.
This guitar is definitly a step up from the previous version they had of it.
And my knob setup is strange.
You know how the first knob is suppose to be volume? It isnt..... its like a second tone knob, except BOTH knobs work at the same time for whatever pickup selection you have. It makes no sense haha. |

| Looks killer, Joe. Really cool that they relocated the jack on those, too. I don't like the cord sticking out of the lower bout like the older models had, they area disaster waiting to happen. Took them long enough to get it to you, though, and I hope it was worth the wait ! |

Very cool, glad I could help. I think the Screamin Demon`s geared for a more high mid tone that makes the harmonics jump out with a smooth low and low mid to give george that creamy overdriven sound he has. It`s a great pu either way.
The X2N is a screamer, very highoutput. Watch the lows, it can get muddy. The X2n should work better with the EL-34 tubes since they are focused more in the mids. On 6L6`s or 5881`s , you may have to roll the low end back and crank up the highs. I`m eager to hear them, let me know when you post some tunes with both pu`s!

THat will go in the Soloist. That one plays like butter. which is cool for a while. THe Demon will give the axe the Kill sound. The Trembuckers were too muddy |

Had to give some thought, but if you want a screamer, then try the Seymour Duncan Full Shred or the Dimebucker models. For Dimarzio, try the X2N, all of those are very high output and full frequency pu`s. They should satisfy your craving .

But i want some wide open screamers for a different axe. Any suggestions?

I hope this one gets the tone you are after, I know you had a lot of issues with the Jackson. The guy I sold my KV2 to is also having the same dilema, but he would have to dremel the routes out for the pickups he wants in it..

I just couldn`t come to terms with the EMG`s in the Jackson, not bright enough. They had such a high signal strength and absolutely no noise at all, just to dark for what I wanted.
that top is a Flamed maple with a translucent Amber top, just like EVH used for years. This is sort of my tribute to him in a round about way. The neck is unfinished spalted maple, and a smaller radius than the Jackson, but sweet none the less.

That is the new JS32T, about time they put the shark fins on those, and they added a gig bag.. Good deal Joe..
Just negotiated a trade, giving up one of my Charvels for a Peavey Transtube Supreme head. Making the swap tomorrow, have looked for one of these for a long time, finally got one locally...

I know between your GST & PST your taxes are much higher than ours. But right now the dollar value is almost equal. Either way, if you`ve got the cash to spare, it`s probably a good investment.

The original Dual Rectifiers were only two channel, so that is a farely rare find, I`d work on them on that price though, seems a bit steep for an amp that`s 20 years old, maybe around 1000.00, now is that Canadian or American dollars? Shouldn`t matter since the Canadian dollar is almost equal to ours now.
