Gunslinging Sunday

Nothing much happening today, just a quick re-string & staying indoors mostly. It's also one of those days when I think I could get by with just a single pickup.

I also wanted to hear a menacing hubucker in action & Lace's Deathbucker here is certainly one of those. Sometimes, those high output pickup will turn mushy at higher volumes / distortion settings. The Deathbucker, despite its intimidating label, does very well when it comes to single notes clarity. I simply can't get this from the Invader (Seymour Duncan) for instance. Sometimes we just don't know a pickup's true performance until we actually hear them in action. Also, I swapped out the default Floyd Rose Special bridge to the Graph Tech you see above. 

Wishing everyone a good week ahead 👍

D & G (2)

The Lace Drop & Gain pair went into my Jackson Minion V. It is my intention that this guitar should manifest gain-inclined tones as much as possible. 

The bridge humbucker has a very active-like clarity when it comes to power chords. Single notes, on the other hand, sound twangy- rather unbelievable. I have no idea what's the chemistry here but it's a very likeable pickup in this aspect. The neck pickup strives to match the bridge counterpart in terms of distortion voicings & it did not disappoint. The single notes however, are woolier & not as pseudo active. For solos, I tend to activate both. A value-for-money acquisition since these are on clearance.
