i saw that TattooedCarrot has some emg p-90s (p-85s actually) in his PRS soapbar SE so after asking him about them i decided to be a sinner and stick EMGs p-90s in the schecter i traded with xeromus for. here is the result...it not only looks sweet, it sounds killer too!! it's a pair of eg p-85s. this thing sounds killer now...fat, mean and agressive with tons of clarity/articulation even in drop D. i strung it up with a set of 10-52s and played it in E and drop D and it sounds great in both but i think it may now become my main drop D guitar!

Your pictures make me drool.
So you're doing about 2 mods a week now? :P

BASTARD ... you F*CKIN BASTARD

Edit : oppps.. i mean nice guitar dude ! congrats! i have no idea why i typed the above.

That looks great!! I have a dealer pricing an EMG custom shop neck pup that will be an SA built into the P90 housing. EMG already told me they can do it, I just need to go through a dealer to find out how much. But I love the bridge P85.

That is damn gorgeous, like all your others. You make me sick.

In order to stop me GASSin you may have to be the second person to make my ignore list!

Seriously though, nice guitar.

TRAITOR!!!!

Those pups look sweet in that guitar. And if they sound good, then they're perfect. No sin, at all!

X sorry for calling u a bastard . really .. nice axe!
i got a question for you. u know those pickup switches ? the knobs can be screwed out right? do u think they sell metal knobs too?

Mike, I'm taking the ferry to long island and stealing that from you.

Very nice looking guitar! Enjoy.

That is one REALLY pretty guitar. If it sounds as good as you say it does, then it would be hard to beat!

ok, first off, thanks everyone for the kind words!

pierre: yeah it's getting a bit nuts around herelol

pac: it's all good, i know you ment no harm lol.

TC i was going to go with a 60 in the neck but my dealer has two 85s in stock so i just went with it...i can't wait for anything lol. the 85 neck is pretty good, nice for lead work but a bit bassy under gain for any chord work, but that's ok i only use the neck for lead. the bridge however rocks! thanks again for the info on them, not only do they look killer but they sound great too!

kyuss: thanks man!

forbes: you better not ignore me lol.

Jackson: yeah i felt like a traitor twice lol..once for buying emgs then for putting emg p-90s in place of real p-90s. emg p-90s are far from real p-90s lol they are just p-90 sized versions of the full size hums for the most part and the 85 in the bridge rocks in mahogany, i knew this from a past les paul i had with a set of 85s in it.

pac: i think i have seen them in metal somewhere i know you can get chrome and gold plastic ones...i'll see if i can find the real metal ones again...don't remember where i saw them....hmmm

joe: come on over man..but your not leaving with anything lol. i used to go to school at the university of hartford, i took the ferry many times to get home or to school. it's not a bad ride, you should come for the LI jam if your free!

Newguy: thank you!

dd12939: thanks and yeah she sounds as good as she looks for sure!

Same here, I looked all over for a 60A or a 60 and nobody had them. In fact, I only found one dealer who had the P90 series at all, and they only had 81's and 85's so I went with two 85's. But I'm looking forward to the custom shop jobber as I think a single coil sounding neck pup would be great in the SE..

joe: lol that's funny...i went there freshman year...99-00. i left after one year and transfered back home. it wasnt for me, the school was nice and all, and i made some good friends but i just wanted to come home to my close friends, family, my guitars, my cars, real pizza and chinese food etc etc lol speaking of UHa have there been any good things written out of the rocks below the bridge in the stream? i helped my roomate who was rushing for delta sig write some crazy stuff a few times in the middle of the night using rocks to make the letters lol...ahh good times .

Yeah man! There's always Greek letters down there, and at night times on a nice day there's a green smell that always emits from down there too haha... and I know what you mean about uha not being for you, I lived there my first semester, but now I commute from Waterbury, its about 40 minutes a day. I might attend the LI jam if I can remember when it is.

It loks classy. Very nice.

Interesting. Are the EMG P90s (err, 85s) voiced like P-90s? I mean, do they have the raw aggressiveness the SD Hot P90 has?

Anyway, looks great XSSIVE.

I miss that guitar a little but but XSSIVE made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Traded me one of his guitars, 4 pedals, and a bit of cash.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.
