Ok think its hooked up right now! Didn't end up putting a spring in to support it just cut some foam padding to size. Now to restring!

Cool got it! Now what do I do about the foam and spring? Should I cut them off the 81-7 and use them to bed the new pick up?

Shit! Looks like my guitar is not set up for quick connect! It's a 2008 model, would that have anything to do with it?

Black outs have arrived! Now...This is my first time restringing using locking tuners...How much slack do you need for this? I have heard some say none and some say a few millimeters...Thoughts?

So the tone knob on my EMG loaded guitar would be rendered useless with the Blackouts am I right? Does this pose a problem to any of you?

Yeah, a lot of people here give it the old small town 'this place is hell' shit, but I like it. Pretty laid back and friendly.

Thanks everybody for the advice! I have decided to give the blackouts a shot after hearing a fellow LTD SC-607B user get a great sound from them. If by some chance I dont like them I know some people who would buy them from me and I will use that money to try out the 707's. I will let you know...

I have the stock 81-7's in my Alder bodied guitar, and the sound is lacking in the low mid area imo. A few other LTD SC-607B have noted the same thing and I know that they have switched over to Blackouts or the 707 with better results. Basically I am not happy with the tone I am getting and...

Whoa, gotta say this is the only place I have been where I am seeing negative comments on Blackouts lol To me it's a toss up between EMG 707's and Phase 2 Blackouts.

If I wanted to switch to the Phase 2 active Blackouts from my stock EMG 81-7's in my LTD SC-607B, would I need to rewire anything at all? Or is it simply plug and play? I am debating to myself whether to get EMG 707's or the Blackouts...If Blackouts are as simple to install then I think I...

Is that song snippet done with your 607b? Did you use an amp sim?

Can somebody tell me how this quick connect thing works with EMG's? Going to order a 707 soon and i am a complete noob at swapping pick ups. Basically want to know if the connect process is as simple as they say?

Thanks for the advice guys! I will just keep the highs down and the gain down and see what I can get. Maybe even boost the low mids up a bit to warm it up a little. Sorry for the late reply. just returned from the Soundwave Festival (Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica, Linkin Park etc..)

Hi guys wondering if any fellow SC-607B players in this forum could give me some advice on dialing a decent tone for it with Pod Farm or the POD HD? Everything I end up with sounds too bright and thin...Oh yeah, I am using the stock EMG 81-7 pick ups. Do not have the cash at the moment for...
