Beautiful grind there MDV!

MDV? - did you mean HTH?

anyway, here's some actual grindcore with the Abraxas bridge...

The info on the youtube clip says you're using your explorer. So which is it? Your Abraxased LP or the explorer?  :?
I would love to hear more of the abraxas  :D

whoops, yep, it was the Explorer with EMGs  :oops:

everything else on my Youtube videos is the BKP Abraxas set though (apart from the Tele clips)

I've got an AC30CC in for repair that I could record some clips of with the Abraxas-loaded LP.  Also got one of those EH Wiggler pedals (a fantastic unit) which I'll demo too.

Some Abraxas clips through a AC30 would be great! Much appreciated  :D

That sounds really awesome! I want an Abraxas set and an AC30 now :D

Any idea how Abraxas would sound in an SG? Thats the next guitar on my list :)

I'm on a one-man mission to popularise the Abraxas set - they totally rule.  I really think they're what most people want when they think "PAF, hmm, but the bridge could be hotter".  The bridge has plenty of poke, but doesn't sound over the top and has a sweet clean tone (overwound pickups nearly always sound to stiff/hard played clean).

As for how they'd sound in an SG, I'd wager that they'd sound pretty much the same as in a Les Paul.  It really depends on the guitar - in another Les Paul this set would sound different to what they do in my own Les Paul.
