Hog Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I see Robb Flynn playing an acrylic BC Rich and Dave Grohl using an acrylic guitar too.Some people have seen my "piss block" acrylic guitar. For some reason, it has a nice neck and I quite enjoy playing the thing. Crazy idea part...putting an EMG-81 into it? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 an EMG? Lolz.. Get a good passive pickup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 an EMG? Lolz.. Get a good passive pickup...I think an EMG would suit Hog better, plus it's more generic sounding regardless what it's put into (I don't want to start debate with this comment, as I'm well aware of the fact you can hear differences with the same EMG in different guitars, however it does very much retain a clearly audible 'similar sound') whereby passives accentuate the tonality of the piece of wood (or in this case, acrylic) at hand. As it's not the greatest quality of instrument, I think that a good passive would be wasted on it if ya see where I'm coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 is there space for a battery?if no it would be harder modifying an acrylic guitar to accept a battery than a wooden one methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sloth Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeah, I'd say go with the '81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Daft idea. Instead of being a cheapy, Im buying a new guitar. The pissblock has had its day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well, I thought it was a good idea. Maybe going active was a step too far though. I could sell you an EMG H4 for 25, it's a passive version of the 81. I bought it for a Squier project guitar, but with hindsight I should stay away from metal pickups, not so good for country.
