The Warpigs are installed 8)

...but I've not been able to give them a good go yet as Dylan wanted to keep the guitar a few days to give it some TLC. He's giving it a fret polish and cutting the saddles wider for the strings I'm using now and a few other things to make it play at its best. It's not had a proper set-up in three (?) years to be fair and I've gone from 9-60 to 11-68!

I did get ten minutes with it through a Cube, though and I could hear that the pickups were a much better match for the guitar and for each other than the RY/VH2 for what I like. Alot more balanced across the pickups - it's naturally a really bright guitar. Gonna take a while to get used to the new look  8)

[Philly Q]

Always a bit hard to tell from photos, but the red looks a good match.

[Dave Sloven]

The audience will need sunglasses  8)

[Lew]

Yep the red is pretty much dead on. It looks kinda extreme, gonna take a while to get used to the psychadelic look  :lol: but I dig it

[Dave Sloven]

You're going to have to get some louder clothes to go with it

[Keven]

Looks bloody stunning. awesome pick!

I'm really loving the Warpigs. Much happier with these than the RY/VH2 set.

They're not nearly as dark as I'd thought they were going to be, actually - I think the charts are pretty misleading. The neck pickup is really usable now too which was a problem for me with the RY/VH2 as I'd EQ for the RY which made the VH2 really boxy. They've got a great wide and balanced sound.

[Keven]

i think you're coming around with the same realization as me, i love the black dog in my ERG guitars, but for proper 6 string heaviness, the contemporary series rock. i got into BKP coming from a low output school, but their higher outputs really have tone and are as usable as their lower output ones, compared to major brands which have their definite stamp on lo and hi models, especially dimarzio.

[Lew]

Maybe. I dont buy into the lower output=better tone but then my reference point for good tone is Matt Pike  8)

[witeter]

Nice one man- a real beast of an instrument! love Fist of the North Star so its a big thumbs up from me  8)
