New Hammett's Pickups ? Confirmed ?
New Hammett's Pickups ? Confirmed ?
Hi guys,
You remember The Night Before Show, and the Custom EMG that Kirk fitted onto his Red Les Paul in the bridge position ?
I've spotted a pic last night during their show with the Sharks and I've seen this :
That's right, in one of his standard Vintage he has for heating his fingers up, he has a new EMG Prototype at the neck (or JH ?) with plots. Don't know if he has a new one in the bridge position too ...
It's seems like we'll have new signature pickup over 2016 or 2017
Cheers,
G.
Finally picked up a set of Bonebreakers and installed them in my 2003 Custom Shop KH-2 Neck Thru.
I like them (although my experience with them thus far is brief) - the bridge is a bit fuller in the midrange than an 81, with some of the top end fizz reduced down. The neck is a less boomy 85. They compliment each other well.
I think he should continue using the strat for NEM and The Unforgiven... I'm a huge Les Paul fan and he is still using them for the other ballads but those songs really work with the Strat. I've felt that way since I saw the Rock am Ring stream back in '06.
I have a Sherwood Green '62 (reissue) so I can rule that out. It seems like a lightly aged black RI or a very clean vintage. Not enough pics for me to say definitely one way or the other.
By the way, the original Unforgiven Strat from the 91-92 tour had Lace Sensors, not EMGs.
I stand corrected, I was basing that info off an old article. I have an S set my '84 MIJ Strat and an SA/85 in another. Both great pickups!!! The EMG Tele set is also amazing; EMG doesn't get enough love for their singles.
The more I look at the new tour pictures the more I feel like that guitar is a reissue... Kirk could afford a clean pre-64 Strat (based on the headstock shape) but it would be incredibly rare to be that clean.
I might have an extra set plus other new sealed in box EMG pickups in white blank & red plus the JH & Kh sets (jh blk chrome) pm me to order.
