Feggits. :p

Yeah, in spite of me looking for a 2ndary knockaround guitar, I came across this beuty with an ORIGINAL FLOYD going for a lot less than the brand-new price.

So I nabbed it. I've yet to sell my NJ Ironbird(with a Dimarzio Tonezone) though. Gotta take some pics and eBayzorz it up or post it in the classifieds. Anyone interested?

Anyway, I'm aware that the EMG-HZ's are ass, but Ill rip em out and sell them for dirt and get just one bridge PU and maybe a neck PU, but that will be later.

I hear the HZ's have the same connection shit thing that the regular EMGs have. Does that mean all I have to do is directly replace the pups only or is more electrical bullshit required to get the actives to work on it? Cause I might just get an 81 if I don't go passive on this guitar(probably will).

Congratulate me. :beer:

Where does it say it has an Original Floyd Rose?

Or did you just link to that auction for the hell of it?

I'm confused.

I'd have your Ironbird except I don't live in the US and I can't afford it. there are some guitar shapes I will own before I die, and the Ironbird is one of them.

Hehe, true, as soon as I saw it had an OFR, and sold for 450 new I knew it wasn't going to be long before someone grabbed it so I got it.

Can't wait to play it. :) This guitar is going to make my other Jackson(JS30) my knockaround guitar, the opposite of what I was planning to do with it. :P

You need to change components and shit,and find room for a 9v.

Then fuck it, I'll go passive. :P I'll probably get a X2N/PAF on this one too, a simply cause I'd love the looks of a white X2N in the bridge and maybe a black/white or white PAF pro in the neck. But I'm tempted to try other pups though, cause that's the same setup in my other Jackson too.

I have a DXMG but with a licensed floyd. FIne guitar. I get nice distortion with the HZ's through my 15 w amp so I don't think theyre full pieces of shit. Congratulations.

I have a DXMG too, very solid guitar, I upgraded mine to active EMGS and I had no trouble finding room for the battery, you won't either, in fact you can probably fit 2 or 3 9v batteries in the controls before you start running out of room. Have fun with it, it's a nice axe!
