Replacing the stock pickups with better quality pickups will definitely be a tonal upgrade. It all depends on if you are ok with putting in pickups that may equal over half the value of the guitar (just guessing at the guitar cost). Besides, if you keep the old pickups, and you decide to sell...

Excellent pickups. They do exactly what the description says. Brings the tonal qualities of a passive pickup together with the best qualities of active pickups. I have EMGs on my Les Paul, Blackouts are much better IMO. The Fire Blackouts are fairly versatile pickup. Nice cleans, searing leads...

Read through the above comments. The "official" demo is the one I posted above with the darker black/blue cover. I believe there were only 500 of those made and they are rare, but do pop up occasionally online. I've only ever seen one copy of the mp3 version, which I now own. Prices...

Yup. His last live show was it for him. According to Petros, Bob and Gus, Kelly was never a permanent replacement and was never a contracted member. He was only ever going to be a live replacement to fulfill their your dates. Word has it that Kelly is not to fond of them as a result...

I'd take that deal

I guess that would explain why Edwards products are being reduced in price.. A friend of mine is getting a custom shop of the white NT.. It's about 5000 USD. That's insane. I just bought an EVH Wolfgang Stealth and it was 3000..The absolute most I would ever pay for a guitar...

Apparently all of Gus' specialty signature ESP's are now Custom shop only. I don't know if that is for all ESP sigs, but I was told that directly by ESP while looking into purchasing a White NT II and/or This matte black one. The one in the pic differs from Gus' because his has the FW logo...

*bump*

I actually thought that Kelly was all over the place during "Edge of a dream". I don't know if he had just learned the song that day or what, Considering hIs vocal abilities, it was not a good performance by him. I'm sure he would agree. I met Kelly and spent a few hours with the guys...

Well, bad pickups one a 400 dollar guitar is the culprit. Without good tone at the beginning of the tone signal, make it extremely hard to get the thick heavy tone you are looking for. If your guitar skill is not that great, then nothing you will do will make you sound better.

I have several Gus LTD models, including 2- 200NT's and the Heaven and Hell head. Aside from the fact that the 200 is made of basswood and Gus' models are made of Alder, I would say that your pickups are the problem. I can say that with a fair amount of certainty due to the fact that in one of...

Wiki is correct. The VIP tix are for Turisas only. Firewind will most likely hang out at the venue after their set near the merch area.

What kind of guitar are you using? What kind of wood? bridge, neck,fretboard,pickups ?

Apollo has a day job teaching music at a school and a wife and kids. Apparently he was having difficulties getting the amount of time off needed to do extended tours, not to mention the strain it puts on his family life. The guy did it for the right reasons.. I wish him all the best and...

It's on the main page, but here's the scoop in case some people link directly here.. APOLLO PAPATHANASIO QUITS; REPLACEMENT VOCALIST ANNOUNCED FOR UPCOMING TOURING! (read press release below): FIREWIND have announced Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Adagio, Beyond Twilight, etc.) as new vocalist...

It's VIP for Turisas. There are no VIP tix for Firewind

What is the site?

That was hilarious! HAHAHA To answer your question, it's a thankless job. It my 10 years of being on the job, I can honestly say that I've only been told "Thank you" once. Because the minority of officers that get involved in criminal activity or get carried away with their...
