I've never tried an EMG-equipped guitar that made me want to buy any of their pups.

The phrases "nowhere to hide" and "unforgiving" were chosen carefully. They can be frustratingly hard on your ego. When your touch is good, they are very rewarding. Learn well, grasshopper.

[QUOTE=RickBlacker]BTW, what happened to the comparison between the ToneZone and the JB? :)

I was pretty sure of myself when I said "I suspect there aren't a lot of players who have both pups in their kennel." Duncan and DiMarzio tend to inspire brand loyalty that doesn't see much overlap. I run DiMarzio in every axe I've changed the pups in. So I'm not familiar with the JB.
