I am all for heavy metal distortion and pinch harmonics. zakk wylde.. bullet for my valentine.. etc. But to be quite honest i have had the Ltd Fx-400 with the 81-60 emg's, and after playing them for a while and playing some seymour duncans, im afraid to say they got put to shame. Emg's are for the musicians at a road block and resort to "Death Chunk" to improvise their self-esteem in guitar. Seymour's will open up such a wide variety of genres and variability. I'm sure you have already put money into your emg's and that's cool. but on your next guitar purchase.. do yourself a favor and get some duncans to widen your horizon

All you guys that are saying Duncans FTW. Do you mean the new Duncan Blackouts or what? Specify. I'm also currently looking on going with a new pickup setup and was thinking of EMG's but am considering other options as well.
