While it was an EMG 85 in the bridge, for a period of time it was two Dual Blade pickups, wired in parallel.
Sorry, letting my unnecessary knowledge of guitar jargon get the best of me.

@torquemenistan It is Joel, lol. Joel was the only Guitarist when Adam was playing drums and they were a 4-piece band. Joel used to use the Green PRS back in the day.

@torquemenistan Adam did use a white and black Fender Stratocatser with an EMG 85 during shows back in 2002/2003.
on Youtube, search any of the videos of them playing the New York or San Francisco shows from 2002, you’ll see it.

@torquemenistan for fuck sake, before he got a caparison he used a strat
August 7th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
@floppledong Uhmm.. Nope. He never used a Strat.. It was a Caparison.
August 7th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
@DAblackdahliamurder It’s for his backproblems
August 7th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
man i dont care what anybody says, they write some of the coolest yet simplest riffs in metal soooooo much fun to play on guitar!
August 7th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Adam gave up the Caparison for a Parker? What the EFF?
August 7th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
@matthewk7777 Look into some all tube amps for some awsome METAL tones. A mesa dual rec, peavey 5150, and if you got the cash maybe a Framus cobra or Splawn amp. They use a custom Parker Fly and a Caparison Dellinger guitar with EMG 85’s in the bridge position pickup. I think they boost the amps with a overdrive pedal, maybe a Maxon od or an Ibanez tube screamer. Hope this helps!

@AJones506 Line 6 amps aren’t that great of amps. They’re good but not great. Look into some all tube amps for some awsome METAL tones. A mesa dual rec, peavey 5150, and if you got the cash maybe a Framus cobra or Splawn. You’re right about the Emg’s though, they use 85’s in the bridge. =D

August 7th, 2010 at 7:38 pm

August 7th, 2010 at 7:54 pm

August 7th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
