ok so i own this epi lp standard which i figured id put a set of zakk wylde emg's in. my thought was since i already own a standard with sd alnico II pro's. a set of actives in the other would round me off. (one for classic rock,blues, and jazz) and one for metal. the conclusion ive come to is that these emg's suck. sure they are loud, and sure they overdrive my jcm600 but they are so 2 dimensional. they have no tone, no soul, no feeling. maybe it's just e but im really unimpressed. i think it's time to tear everything out of it and go with gibson internals. has anyone else noticed this or are my ears decieving me??
