Rectification (2)

The second guitar to have its innards looked into was my Jackson DKMGT. See the 2 push-pull knobs there? 
  1. Coil-split selector
  2. Turbocharger pre-amp selector
Since the Turbocharger (defunct) could accept other passive pickups, I had the EMG-HZ removed & replaced with a pair of Tesla pickups: Plasma 3 (bridge) & Plasma 7 (neck). The EMG-HZ are fine pickups, they sound good in many other guitars but in this Jackson, they are too fuzzy especially with the Turbocharger activated. The Teslas are simply wonderful in this application, a wonderful boom & some slicing lead tones to be heard.
