Title: Just ordered a set of Apache's.....
Post by: everton_fc on October 20, 2005, 03:21:43 PM: .... I'm a dead man when my Mrs finds out. Was supposed to be saving for internal doors....

Anyway, before I get castrated, can anyone shed any additional thoughts on apaches - I've been using Irish Tours until now....

Thanks

No ice pick highs, but less mid growl than the Irish Tours. They sound much nicer than internal doors! :lol:

Apaches, better than doors.

Told the Mrs last night I orderd 1 pickup - didn't have the balls to say I've orderd a pre-loaded scratch plate set of three.... maybe I need to soften her up first by a personal sacrifice of a painfull days shopping for cr@p girly things like lip gloss and things that sparkle... :wink:

I just don't tell her - she can't tell the difference between guitars if they are the same colour anyway! Oh - that and divorce! When I was between marriages I was able to squirrel away a lot of things :P

Post by: everton_fc on October 24, 2005, 12:10:10 PM: they havn't arrived yet, but as soon as they are fitted and I've giving the guitar a good pasting I'll write my own comparison from going from Irish Tour pups to a set of Apaches.

Twang action.

Post by: Tonewolf on October 24, 2005, 09:03:37 PM: I expect them to be nothing short of amazing. No pressure Tim.
:P

Post by: Tonewolf on November 01, 2005, 09:25:07 PM: I am trying my best to collect cash from everywhere to purchase a set for my Strat. She has no pickups at all right now and sounds great unplugged but..... I want to hear the tone!
