Or maybe more obscure stuff, like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Accept? lol. I’m a mixed cookie, bits of everything rock and metal in me. ---

Any metal head thrower is on my cools list automatically. That and he’s pretty funny in the vids. You are lucky to have him, as you said. ---

> [@mgiroux77](#): > > What pickups are you going with?? GFS Fat Pats. I’ve got to conserve money for building a scratch build and (Hopefully) a replica of this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/b/5/1b5cca106997156345bd1c7a9240d315f50a34c7.jpeg) Besides, why would I put $200 worth of pickups in a $450 guitar when I can get the sound I want for $60? GFS makes some great (Not just for the price) pickups. _Edit_ I’m putting DiMarzios in my Scratch build and Seymour Duncans in my 355 replica. ---

Ahhh PAF… hehe It is a shame Gibson pickups are so much $$$ the 57 classics are sooo good!!! I actually lucked out with the pickups in my Lester… I always change them out to something else but this time I was so happy with them. ---
