After the songs conclusion, he then proceeds to tell me that he wants to learn the song!!!!!
I was shocked , he worlds away from being able to play anything more than three basic chords, right now, but dammit, I`m going to teach him, right after I learn it!!
I am as proud as I can be of him, now if he`ll just keep the drive going!!!!!! |

OK, thru multiple e-mails with EMG and multiple attempts at re- eq`ing my seetings, an actual eq (graphic or parametric) inline or a treble booster is what it will take to boost the top end of these EMG`s. Even their other models (model 60) that claim to be bright, probably will not be enough. Perhaps it`s time to go back to Seymour Duncan`s!!!
While the signal strength of the EMG`s is amazing, they are just so much darker than I am accustomed to!! |

Plus this is the first guitar I have ever had that has the Ebony fingerboard. I prefer the look of the maple fboards, the Ebony sounds great , takes a light touch to ring out the sustain. The EMG`s are stock on the DK-1 like SDB mentioned, atleast on current models. They do have a Soloist model that had Duncans as stock.
I really do love the guitar though, best I have ever owned. And your`s??

And the notes are perfect, relative to each other. THe contrast between mode shifts, dramatic. It is as smooth as silk. I love Her. Do you have the 81, 85. combo.

Thanks, I love it!! Am having abit of a time adjusting to the EMG`s, they do sound great, but seem to lack some top end, I`m experimenting with some things to try and solve that issue.

Go to your local music store and negotiate a cash deal. Retail is much better than the MSRP!!

Okay I get it now. Thanks for pointing it out for me.
Well I took a look at the KV2's and did a bit of research and I guess all the parts and shit I named off WAS a KV2 hahaha. So I'll save myself a few thousand and get a KV2 I guess. There bloody nice guitars.
Expensive though. How much did you get your's for?
