Adam - cheers! I actually caught myself thinking about replacement pickups the other day, but so far, the ESP stock pickups aren't too bad. I just wish that the bridge pickup brought out the high-end and the harmonics a teensy bit clearer - Dimebucker, perhaps? ;)

i like this axe. I think the pickups are based on marzios. what you can try is raising the bridge pickup a little under the top e string ie high e. the one at the bottom when you are playing. may be a quater or hal a turn on the screw should be enough.

Personally i am not a fan of esp ltd axes. I always found the ones i tried fealt and sounded wooden. Or is that my playing?????? :confused:

But that looks one killer axe.
