nicholas_spevak's Metal Music Gear Setup

After having problems with too many nasally mid heavy amp heads and pickups, I finally ordered a set of these from Bare Knuckle and was not disappointed. These pickups have amazing clarity and cut through the mix unlike any other. I would recommend these to anyone playing lead guitar in a band but probably their Nail Bomb or Holy Divers to more rhythm/clean oriented players.

Chicken picks may be expensive, but they're some of the most durable and long lasting picks I've played. Using standard picks I would wear out an average of 1 per week, but a single chicken pick lasts me atleast a couple months, and even then its not really that "worn" (I just prefer pointier tips) That and they're extremely comfortable to play and deliver a sharp attack to your strings.

This is my main and only guitar for recording and playing live. This was also my first 7 string after upgrading from an LTD Eclipse. Solid overall guitar.
