They'll be going in a mahogany & maple Legra that I'm getting when I get paid next - has a maple neck as well, so that'll add to the brightness of the RYs

Is that the "leaf green" one I saw on their site the other day? Love the colour!! :)

Is it a bolt-on too? I still reckon Crawlers.

Haha yeah, that's the one - I love the way it's still mahogany coloured on the back, such a contrast to the green of the front...

I forget whether it's a bolt on or not, but if I remember rightly most Legras are, so I think it is.

You still reckon Crawlers? I'm really tempted - I'll just have to get another guitar for the Rebel Yells later :lol:

+1 for the Crawlers. (I'm a bit biased, of course, because they're new.) Absolutely fantastic in my Les Paul Standard. They seem less on the aggro side than the RY's, but still with plenty of punch. However, I'd have to say that (whether live or via sound clip), I have yet to hear a BKP that sounded bad, or even just OK. Well worth the extra $ compared to Duncans, Dimarzio, etc., and even some of your more high-dollar Fralins, Lollars, et al. Hard to make a bad choice whith BKP's!

Well, what do I know, I haven't actually got any Crawlers so I'm talking out of my backside really.

But given how bright the RY is in my mahogany guitar, I just reckon it'll be really bright if you add some maple into the equation. It'll be a damn good sound, but perhaps not the most versatile.

But then I do like quite a bright tone, and play quite a bit of stuff in the style of Maiden as well, and wasn't sure whether the Crawler would really be what I'm after :lol:

There's no doubt the RY would be brighter than the Crawler, but I'd recommend checking with Tim for his opinion. He doesn't steer people wrong!

Yeah, I see where you're coming from - And I'm actually playing through an Engl Screamer these days too, which is bright enough on its own :lol:

Maybe I'll get me an SG for my birthday - 18th next year 8)
