Jackson DK2S with Super 3 and HS-2 "Poor Man's PC1 Guitar"

Here is a Jackson DK2S loaded with a Dimarzio Super 3 and HS-2 pickup set in the middle and bridge positions. I deem this the poor man's PC-1 because electronics wise it is the same as the Phil Collen PC-1 PC1 guitar. It has the sustainer and Dimarzios. This is mainly a demo for an e-bay auction I currently have up for this very guitar. Check it out.

I have no idea.. I read a lot of reviews on pickups before I buy a new or used one and just slap it in... regardless of the wood's characteristics.. It has always worked well for me.

[metalmagician42]

is that the transparent blue?

[bub2010]

It was.. yes

hello bro! just a simple question!

tell me please if this guitar can be used by professional bands??

[bub2010]

Dude.. I've seen people playing customized Squiers on stage... so.. yea.. I don't see why not.. it is a 500-700 dollar guitar before the mods... quality built.

nice so the sustainers work just as good as phil collens' pc1

[bub2010]

I actually now own a real PC-1. The DK2-S didn't sound quite as good, but as far as the sustainer and pickup combo it was pretty similar, but the real PC-1 sounds better mainly due to quality of wood and such, but yea.. on  budged this axe rocks.

@rocke214 thx for the suggestion. i tried a tone zone which was really shitty and now play a dimarzio d sonic, which is one of the best pups ive ever heard and played, period. i tried the super3 and it was awesome as well but relly lacked the bass department. no matter what i did with eq and pedals it was really to soft in the lower end. which was really a pitty cause midrange nd treble was as perfect as it could get to my ear.

@Winterhe4rt Hey, if you're still after pickup suggestions, I've had good results from the sh14. It doesn't get overly bassy and has really good definition. IMO it's the truest example of a PAF on steroids as they say. Acts like hotter pickups in perceived power but has the rawness of the PAF to my ears. I'm using one in a Les Paul however and haven't tried it in a flat bodied RG type so take my opinion for what it's worth there. I also did experience the same issue with an sh5 as you did.

@Winterhe4rt I have a DX10D with a Super 3 and Humbucker from hell. The super 3 is gritty and has some growl to it. but it sings and is well balanced.... I can split the coils and together it's super clean, you will lose some gain but split it sounds great, and it cleans up a lot. It's a super DISTORTION 3 after all. plus check tone capitors, those can do a lot and are cheaper

dimartzio super 3 & vivian cambell \m/

[NomadRonin]

I'm considering getting this guitar but I don't quite understand what the different modes of the Sustainiac do. Could you explain it or demo the mode differences?

[H1VE666]

Its not a poor mans guitar fuckin love that guitar

[Winterhe4rt]

you think the super3 is good in an ibanez rg? (mahagony + maple + rosewood fingerboard) i now play an seymour duncan sh5 (custom) and its super trbly and harsh and not very thick. i think i dont want to play a tone zone cause its so bassy and undefined. from the specs i would say the super3 would be pleasent for me.. u agree?

Cool Guitar Mate ive already 5 guitars this is definitely my next guitar im going to buy Dk2s Sustaniac! Awesome dude! im selling my Fender Stratocaster eh.. hhehe and im going to buy this Jackson Sustaniac with Harmonic Mode!

[18Ryanisboss]

you bought the wrong jackson guitar because it comes with the seymour dunken pickups. you have on Dimarzio pickups. Why did you replace them? Seymour Dunken pickups sound good with sustainiac. Vivain Campell from Dio and Def Leppard, he plays Kramer and Jackson guitars and it comes with seymour dunken pickups. It sounds for soloing and music.
