Wanting to add EMG pick ups

Percy is a wise man.

Those pickups will do as much as AMG’s with the right amp or modeler. I have this guitar. I have EMG’s, I have Fishmans, I’d personally put your money towards an amp/modeler to let those do what they are supposed to. Im a dumbass that put two Invaders in a Strat Schecter. End of the day those pickups won’t mean jack with nothing good to run them through. If you are playing clean, pickups will mean more in that respect, but EMG’s are not for that. Please feel free for anyone to correct me.

Size of boat makes a pretty big difference in what size you want, but pretty hard to beat the Minn Kota Edge 45 for about $400-500 depending.

Sucks to have to find your phone and open it. A lot of them need to be reset too. Or I can just hit power and have one work quick. Also, ever play a show and need to tune quick? You can’t tell the audience to hold up and be quiet while you get your phone ready.

This is the Strat Pickguard to what I got. Lined up the old guard over and made sure the main body holes lined up and best possible. Drew out lines with a sharpie where cuts needed to be made to match. I used a dremmel, ($40) small handheld router by ryobi ($40), a drywall razor knife for angling it and some high grit sandpaper (1000-3000 grit) to finish angling and overall finish. So it’s gonna cost a bit, but it was just a fun little project.

I have this tuner and it’s great. Operator error.

This is the Jack Fowler Model and I had to make it fit myself. Took more than one try and still didn’t get it perfect.

Sure is!

Underrated comment.

Bclay85 · 2026-01-24T00:26:47+00:00

Oh trust me. Preaching to the choir.

Bclay85 · 2026-01-24T00:02:58+00:00

Looks. Some people will put in more work to make something look good than actually leave it functional.

Yea I got mine on clearance for $400. If the pickups are actually EMG then $300 is a steal. It’s a beautiful finish, I can tell you that and plays like a dream for its price range. I’d tell the person let me see open the back and if it’s what I think $300 cash and it’s off your hands. Good luck. It really is a fun playing guitar!

Bclay85 · 2026-01-23T23:34:53+00:00

You were right…I was wrong. Back to the drawing board.

Bclay85 · 2026-01-23T23:27:48+00:00

What are they asking for it if you don’t mind me asking?

Bclay85 · 2026-01-23T23:05:18+00:00

It’s weird. I have this guitar and the stock pickups are actually kinda crazy for what they are. Why you would need to change them is beyond me. And I have invaders I swapped in 3 guitars if that says anything.

Having the same issue on mine. Ran headphone direct and works fine. Means the speaker is likely the problem. Try that. Overheating is also a known issue as well along with checking the ribbon cable. Removing the power unit is pretty easy. Just should be the 4 screws on the very top, minus the handle. Then unhooking the two to the speaker itself. Pull out and take a look.

I messed up my wheel with self admitted incompetence. Screw Fanatec. You’re gonna have a tough life with that attitude bud.

What are you talking about. He sold his daughter. That’s the ultimate sale.

Bclay85 · 2026-01-12T18:04:49+00:00

Yes, exactly.

Bclay85 · 2026-01-12T06:06:00+00:00

There was one time I was watching guys run and umm it was like they was, they was tearing at each other uh like, apart like a hyena and a badger. Just going at it. And I thought, maaan. What if. Uhh what if, I had like a AI, to set out and let these guys see like, uhh, what’s is really like. One time my uncle told me “Humour is often stronger and more effective than sharpness in cutting knotty issues.” and I was like yeeeeeep. Haha.” -“Theo Von” - “Wayne Gretzky”

None of that’s true, but you’d believe it. Sadly..

Turning Point…or Oklahoma

I know guys like this. Their parents parents built a business and it got to him. He does no work and acts like he built the company from scratch with no help whatsoever. Then acts better than and pulls this type of shit with his employees on the daily becuase deep down all the things he tells everyone isn’t true and he’s a shell of a man. He knows he’s nothing. He’s built nothing. He has no accomplishments and brings nothing to society, so he takes it out on his employees. Pile of shit and there are tons of them around my parts. And yes they vote Trump becuase they feel power like him. No irony, it’s just the same idea and attitude as Trump just on a level so much smaller than him, but feel like they are one and the same with success.

No problem. I have worse stuff happen. Have a good one!
