Tom 13804 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just need someone to install them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Pickups come Friday. Hopefully installed over the weekend. Opted to move up to 11 gauge strings to get closer to the best out of the guitar. Need to find a fitting scratchplate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Can't write much cause i can't put it down but these pickups are incredible. Also full set up, fret dress etc, it's playing better than brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4180 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Selling a couple so I don't have to store them while I'm away and to fund something in NZ.

Andrew 4180 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I somehow didn't see that until just now, love it. Think my guitar will arrive in the next day or two going off the tracking. My headphones have arrived some nice Audio Technica M40Xs that will work great with the helix. Can't wait to get plugged in and playing again.

Andrew 4180 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Its here! and its...decent! fit and finish are all pretty nice, frets could use a polish but there are no sticky out ends or anything. Plugged in its not exactly brilliant, the pickups say they're EMG-HZs and I could actually believe that tbh, Ive had a guitar with them in before and this sounds similar, I think replacing them with pretty much anything will be a big step up. It needs a good setup with some new strings and a lower action but the bridge mechanics all seem solid and it should be easy enough to do when I can be arsed, maybe at the weekend. Based on this one @TomI'd go for that scalloped fret thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4180 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Took a few more, better pictures now that its home and I had some time. I've put some proper strings on it now and its much livelier though the pickups still aren't great, if I decide I really do like playing it I'll replace them with something. Dunno what but its an interesting instrument, plays nicely, bridge is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that is another nice chair. Guitar wise I'd say they definitely aren't EMGs but for the money I doubt you're bothered. On another note after a few month with the Bareknuckle PG Blues in my Les Paul I'm tempted to sell a few guitars, there's a lot gathering dust at the moment that just don't come close to it. So If I sell a few and make a similar upgrade to say Strat pickups - for about £350ish, I'll still end up with a decent cash surplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimarzios seem to be the most readily available thing out here, a brand I've never paid attention to really so I know nowt about. Some bareknuckles would be delightful!
