Dookie said he saw it on a epiphone.. but dunno which model..

Is there any difference weather its on a leapaul or strat ?

 

[kahuna]

i guess that it will sound thinner on a strat well thats wad i tink

 

[fiqthefallen]

eih?? how come i dont see it in the 'doctor's main menu'?

if it's an innovation from epiphone, how come they arent fitted into their own guitars???

:???:

We don’t know what products will include this new Epiphone EpiActive Pickups or if Epiphone will sell this pickup as a stand-alone product which price will it have, but I’m sure we will have some updates soon.

epiphone just reinvented active pickups. big deal.

 

[Everdying]

its not epiphone i care about...
its just when gibson will jump into the active pickup market...maybe epiphone is just to test market

 

[Junio]

Ya i think they are testing market.

But the pickup looks tempting, jus feel like trying

 

[fiqthefallen]

if it's to test the market, they'll really face stiff competition with established names like EMG

lets see...
whos one of EMG's biggest endorser? zakk wylde.
lets see...
zakk uses gibsons.
gibsons forces zakk to use gibson actives.

bye EMG
