ESP: Horizon bolt-on (Part 3)

The current ESP guitars- those equipped with passive pickups- are equipped with Orange Drop caps. This picture is proof that it's a 'recent' consideration by the manufacturer because my Horizon blot-on model was still equipped with those budget caps.

The default pickups- unmarked models. At best, they could be ESP's in-house units, nothing awful but they didn't click with me. As you can see here, they were removed to make way for Seymour Duncans.

.To be continued... :-)

mind if i ask sub? is it better to have conductive paint than using copper/aluminum tapes? coz i cant find these conductive paints, are there other alternatives? i like black on my cavity even tho cant be seen while at play..

my take on this is- it doesn't matter, as long as it works, really :-)

i have friends who complained about the aluminium lining as it causes loose wires to short-out but dodgy wiring is more to blame, not te shielding implement.
