I upgraded my LTD ST-203FR (HSS) with a JB in the bridge which, as always with alder strat-types, sounds badass. I really dig the stock single coils, as they tend to balance really well with the JB despite the obvious output difference. The only problem is though I've ran into the inevitable...

Hey guys. I have a quick question... I'm a lefty so I don't have too many options to me. My favorite bands are Godsmack, Metallica, and Drowning Pool... you get the idea. Anyway, so I'm trying to decide between the Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1P Guitars : Blackjack SLS C-1 P Mahogany body, Maple...

We are making this for Chris. Its an Alder RG (Nearly 1 piece) with 2 humbuckers & the old school JEM style carved heel on the back. Still got some prepping to do & some holes to drill but I thought I would post some progress pictures. This is basically what it looks like right off the CNC.

Looking to get some suggestions for production pickups for a Carvin I've got coming in. Looking at Dimarzios (cuz there wouldn't have to be any routing) but I'd so love to get some SDs in there. Also please don't recommend BKPs, etc cuz I dont have the bread for them. Specs on the carvin...
