    What is the deal with EMG Pickups?!

    Do a search on the internet and find the same thing i found. Malmsteen was a guitar tech, he had dimarzio work closely with him and in that interview malmsteen says as well as the quote i gave you above from the website which is a technical forum.

    What is the deal with EMG Pickups?!

    Hi people I'm actually new to the forum, i just joined because I was doing some googling looking to find out if people found it confusing to play their instrument with malmsteen because he knows all the notes on the guitar as I do in the tuning of E, but when tuned to Eb, we still call A, A -...
