I think it is the perfect match for the guitar. It's also very versatile. Great cleans, great 80's metal tone and even tight and articulate enough to pull off modern technical stuff. Thanks for the recommendation Nick :metal:

didn't like it in my sg, but it was awesome in my les pauls
I love how it sounds fat and smooth, but clear, open and tight at the same time
the lead tone is unbelievable

That's the Holydiver for you. The only way to get mud out of it is to play the guitar facedown in a pool of it. BTW, you should try the split, it's kinda p-90ish instead of thin and papery.
P.S., You've treated the guitar to the HD, maybe you should treat yourself to a leather strap 8)
P.P.S, What's your guitar made of?

Post by: yellowv on May 31, 2009, 03:26:56 AM: The guitar is mahogany. Don't like leather straps. Dimarzio clip locks are my strap of choice. I have a bunch of em.
