    Dude, thats absolutely outstanding :-) Those EMG's a so perfect for an ES335 I cant believe nobody ever thought of it before. Brings back happy memories of head banging and moshing to Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays __ My mighty steed

    No, its not OK at all. Nothing short of instant and total and conversion to my way of thinking will do. I'll expect your resignation on my desk first thing in the morning. __ My mighty steed

    You would have us think they would sound the same installed in a boulder Well, I'll have to politely disagree with you there. The EMG actives are not true active pickups. They are a normal humbucker or single coil with a pre-amp built in to boost the output signal. You can even play them with no battery, they just aren't quite as loud. Certainly they have their own sound that carries across different instruments. They are supposed to :-) That sound will definitely be colored by the guitar they are installed in. Right now I know of 3 guitars with these same pickups in them that I hear all the time. All are 25.5 scale. Mine is mahogany, and my buddy has one with an alder body, and another that has a rock maple body. Played through the same amp with the same settings they all sound distinctly different from each other. David Gilmour uses active EMG SA's in his strat, which is my middle PU, and he definitely has a sweet tone but it also sounds distinctly like a strat. If your theory were true that would not be the case... __ My mighty steed

    Floyds have a habit of making your guitar go out of tune because the strings can slide through the nut and change the string tension. Usually, you'd put a locking nut on there to stop this but Buzz Feiten presumably doesn't make locking nuts. Instead, locking tuning machines are fitted to stop the tuners from moving. This doesn't stop the string sliding through the nut, so you lube the nut with graphite so the string slides back easily. Some people use roller nuts as a more definate way of doing this but I'll bet Buzz doesn't make those either. I'd put a Feiten nut on a hard tail, but I think the risks outweight the benefits on a Floyd. Your milage may vary. Actually, although the locking tuners work to help a trem equipped guitar stay in tune, in this case they do nothing to help with that. On this guitar the locking tuners are only there for ease of string changing, as it also has the Floyd locking nut. With the locking tuners you just pull the string taught and lock it. No winding. It also clips the excess of for you. Lots faster and easier. The Floyd locking nut is definitely compatible with the Feiten nut. The Feiten system gets rid of the problem of notes fretted on the first 3 frets being sharp. A problem I found on every guitar I ever had, especially strats. __ My mighty steed

    I like the sound of the active EMG's. Dont care much for the passive EMG's though

    Only to suit my taste. There is no functional reason for it. Its a bit different, thats all. I'm far from the first guy to do it, but most guitars either have them on the top, or have 3 pegs on each side. I like the look. __ My mighty steed
