Other thing about the JS32T, I played all models, feel like the Kelly is different but all other shapes are phenomenal, chinese and Indians. My chines came with a lot lower action with zero buzz, anyways all of them (except the Kelly) do resonate in such a crazy thing, I mean unplug it, strum some chords, maaan all those notes resonate with each like a Piano SO IMPRESSED, I own a KEXMG (Indoniseian X series Kelly with EMGs) it's awesome guitar, but the playability on the JS32T is a lil better (some of it due to unpainted neck but there is something better on JS32 necks), both are fast and comfortable but for the feel the JS32 for me, the X doesn't resonate as well why I don't know, I'd guess getting a JS32 and upgrading the pickups/controls/wiring/tuners and tremolo (if equipped) would be something that beats the pro lines, I might be wrong if it's strictly about single note performance, but the JS32 resonance at all the strings is amazing, not sure if there is any other guitar resonate that big while balanced, the X do resonate but not as good!

As for software, i like IK Multimedia Amplitube, the Amplitube 5 Custom Shop is free and comes with enough stuff to get you going. There are also other free VST Amps like the LePou plugins, but they require Impulse responses, which you can also find some for free, they also have free impulse response loaders. And then there is other payed stuff, which to be honest i don't use. Amplitube 5 Custom Shop let's you buy further modules as packs or individual amps, cab, mics, etc, for instance...

Were these pretty easy to install? I have the same V and have been considering making the swap to EMG’s
@megahurtz304 жыл бұрын
It's all pretty standard to install, except for the wires to the output jack, they are rather long in this guitar, the ones that come with emg might not be long enough and you may need to use others. But other than that, it's an easy install

Hey Megahurtz, so have not gone for the EMG but the Seymour Duncan Livewire instead. I would do the shielding and install myself, now the King V which I am yet to receive (New Zealand long way from anywhere...) seems super tight as far as the cavity goes for the pots. I was thinking about cutting a compartment into the cover for a battery holder so you don’t have to remove the plate every time the battery goes flat we will see if it is possible or not. That’s assuming the battery goes flat unless it is recharging every time the guitar is plugged, I don’t have much understanding of the actual electrical part of active pickups in that respect. Have you made any new modifications to your guitar since posting this video? Thanks mate.
@megahurtz304 жыл бұрын
Hi! I have not made any other modifications. If the Livewire only use one battery, i think it fits and you don't need to do anything special. The battery lasts a really long time, maybe years, just remember to unplug the guitar cable when you are not using it. The real problem, might be the wires that com from the guitar jack to the pots, they are rather long, and the new wiring might be not that long, you will have to check, you might need longer wires..
