tazzboy Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Alnico Classic sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defnist Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks! Now is that just for a certain style or everything? I love rock n roll and classic as well as metal(Iron maiden, Running Wild, Judas Priest, Slough Feg, Black Sabbath, Tarot etc.) so it will suit well right? The EMG's also are in A LOT of ESP's guitars, especially the 81/85 i was surprised at how many they have even the more expensive models. Is it true having the metal part on the pickup holding back the pup's tone? Some guy said that it does.(the metal cover looking thing on the Alnico Classic humbucker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
