[QUOTE="Julia, post: 36530, member: 1784"] I've had both EMGs and currently have a Blackout. The EMGs felt a little too one dimensional (at least the 81 did). I replaced the EMGs in my Schecter C-1 Hellraiser with a JB/59 set. I didn't really like this set either... until I went down to a 10.5-48 set by D'Addario for Std D and drop C tunings. The heavy 12s I had on it sounded too "tubby" to me. Now the axe has some more bite to the tone. The Blackout on my Alexi? I like that one. It's a rock maple through neck with an Alder body. But even here I'm finding the tone not as 3-dimensional. My SG? I'm going from the 498T to a 57 Classic in the bridge. The 498T sounds good but the 57 to me sounds better. I liked the 61 Reissue better than the Standard when I bought the Standard, but I wasn't able to get the 61 Reissue for under $1200 at the time like I did the Standard. [/QUOTE]
