- I’m very impressed with the tones from these EMGs. It’s been decades since I’ve played through active pick ups. These are so well balanced, so natural sounding, and every position sounds really really nice. I’m playing into Marshall Origin 20 through a 212 cabinet with Celestion 75 watters and I’m using the Xotic BB Preamp for drive into a Strymon Timeline for delay.
Killer playing and awesome EMG tones! A long time fan of EMGs.
85 in the bridge is actually included in Steve Lukather standard EMG set SL20. That's the one he's been using since the 80s.
Thank you, sir! Good pickups for sure.
Until he switched a couple years ago to Dimarzio.
AWESOME!! I LOVE EMG’s and have used them for forty years.
I love that guitar. It is funny that you bought almost exactly the same guitar that I was looking at, at the same time that I was considering buying it. I ended up buying lots of tubes instead.
It's gonna be a very versatile guitar.love it.
Middle and Bridge is definitely my fav. I also have the Aged Cherry FR. It's almost like owning a Les Paul and a Strat.
Nice......I have these on my Fender Luxe ...ohhhh yeah, they do rock!
Thinking of this pickup combo for my Ultra. They sound superb.
👍🏼
Good choice on the white covers, they look cool in that guitar.
Thanks!
Love your playing!
🙏🏻
I have a valley arts Lukather and they are the best pickups ever !!
👍🏼👍🏼
Great tone!
Very cool.. I also like EMG's.. I'm building strat now.. It has a warmoth neck with Jumbo stainless frets and I'm going to be using an EMG 85 in the bridge and a 60 in the neck. I have a pickguard with the SA / SA/ SA, but need humbucker tones for the music I play so hence the 85 / 60 combo.. Very cool..
Thanks man..
That’ll be a fun project 👍🏼 Thanks for checking in!
@@riffs66 Absolutely.. Thanks man.. Love the video!
Great playing there Joe! I'm eyeing this guitar. How long does the 9V battery last, and I take it since it's active guitar won't play without a battery?
Thanks 🙏🏻. It needs the battery to function but the battery lasts an extremely long time. Just don’t leave it plugged in for days when you’re not playing it 👍🏼
great killer sounds)))
I've been using EMG SA's since about 1996. Will never go back to passives.
Fantastic tone you're getting out of that piece of art of a duitar!! Bravo 👏🏻
Would you kindly share the pickup heights? Courious to see what Suhr dialed them to :)
Here you go! Distance from each pickup at low and high E strings:
Low E:
Bridge = 4mm
Middle = 4.5mm
Neck = 5mm
High E:
Bridge = 2.5mm
Middle = 4mm
Neck = 3.5mm
Can you remember, were these heights measured whilst pressing down the string at the last fret or just as the guitar is? Great sounding pickups :-)
Awesome playing! Do you feel EMGs have a compressed feeling to them?
I really don’t think so - not in a bad way, anyway. They are very balanced with each other and seem to do pretty much everything really well. IMO. 👍🏼🙏🏻
Hell of a guitar man, and great playing too ! How would you describe the neck thickness, I played Ibanez and Charvel guitars mostly ? Cheers
The neck measurements are: .800 - 880, and the shape is “Even C Slim” profile (according to Suhr). Compound radius: 10” - 14”. Not as D shaped as a Charvel and definitely not as thin as an Ibanez Wizard type.
@@riffs66 Nice, thanks for the information Joe !
Gorgeous; thanks for sharing. How much pull-up (in semi-tones, perhaps) do you have on the recessed Floyd? Any reason for going for the Floyd over the Gotoh (other than the hat-tip to the original Pensa-Suhrs)? Thanks!
Hi! So, the cam of the Floyd is exactly parallel to the body, so I imagine there’s a lot of up-pull (I haven’t tested it’s limit 😬). As far as the Floyd, it feels and functions well, and I know the radius of the saddles has been matched to the fingerboard radius, so the playability (and tone) are great, but the arm/bushing felt a little “sketchy”, frankly. I swapped the parts out for the Schaller equivalent and the difference is huge, in my opinion: more positive contact and no “wonkiness” as was perceived with the OFR arm and bushing. 🙏🏻
I have the same guitar. Try switching the middle to SA-X, much better in between position.
Which is the best in your opinion Suhr Legacy Edition or Valley Arts used?
Hi Rodolfo! Unfortunately, I’ve never played a Valley Arts Guitar, so I couldn’t say.
Awesome guitar Joe! Is it breaking in nicely?
Yessir!
How's the volume difference between the full humbucker and the single coils?
Well balanced, actually
active pickup?
Yes
That's a very poor way. To compare 2 pickups
¯\_(ツ)_/
Perfect!!!!
