@dylancollver Lol that guy at your music store must be a total idiot.
-
What are the standard pickups on the av3? I'm thinking about buying one :)
-
Enjoyed it; Thanks for posting. The '59s sounded better in your guitar than they did in my ES-335! :)
-
hey how are those 59s? i want to get them but this guy ay my local music store was trying to get to get me to get these other ones instead saying i would not like these. i play rock n roll, zeppelin, stones, aerosmith, ac/dc, the who,
-
@PrsFenderJackson1980 the 59's use alnico magnets i believe ... but i think they are alnico v in which the only difference is the bite and crunch of the tone

@Kenny20744 id say epiphone sg

I just got an AV3 for just under $200 - what a GREAT guitar. The flame maple top is beautiful, and the build quality is top notch - much better than just about anything you'll find at GC for under $500...the p'ups are OK, but I'm probably going with some Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF's in mine just to give it better tone...
If you're looking for an expensive, quality guitar, check out the Samick Greg Bennett line - good stuff!!

Does alnico II pro work well in the neck with a '59 in the bridge?
-
@WarriorOfHI Ace Frehley from KISS used a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge position of his Les Paul.
-
hey man i was wondering if you could get an Ace Frehley Tone (KISS) out of the '59 Bridge?

is that a matched set of 59's, or do you have something else in the bridge?

Would I be missing out if I bought this instead of the av 6 or 7?

I have this one (AV3) and a AV6. The AV6's humbuckers are really good. So I've always kept them. For this AV3 I had to change to a better sounding humbucker. To be honest they play about the same (leaning just a little bit towards the AV6). If I were you I'd try'em both out. It's gonna be a judgement call lol.

that is BADDDDD. I also wonder did you change out the pots, input jack, and toggle switch too? I thought about picking up one of their strat models and switching out all the electronics

No the only thing I changed was the buckers. If you do that to one of their strats tell me how it turns out! I'm curious.
