Looking for a used EMG 60 with hardwired leads (not solderless) - thanks!

les paul custom is my choice

These sound great, I have a couple real C+s and the synergy feels and sounds great even when playing them back to back (assuming you run a decent power amp of course!). I would describe it as slightly thicker & hifi sounding - a bit like a Mark IV. GLWTS

On the Malmsteen's the only downside I find is that open chords are slightly more awkward to do but you can get used to it

The switch is really not bad, I have a guitar that is scalloped from the 10th fret onwards only and I use it regularly live for all sorts of music

Well the Kamikaze necks are fairly flat in my experience, they feel big because of the nut width (45mm vs 43mm on most ESPs) but the neck isn't that thick

The new boss ns-1x is very good imho. I A/B'ed it with a pylon and decimator II G string. Pylon really under performed compared to the other 2. Fastest and most neutral sounding one was the NS-1X. Decimator had a cool sound to it (a bit more mellow & slower) but not as clean/fast as the the Boss...

'69 100w JMP

Thanks for your message, I'm afraid i'm specifically looking for reverse headstock ones! I have a couple like yours as my main guitars, just looking to switch it up look wise

Yeah the mark iv will be a bit smoother and forgiving for leads i think. However, knobs, graphic eq and various settings can greatly alter the tones of these amps so you can of course make each of them darker/brighter. I've only had experience with a Mark III blue stripe (with + mod done at the...

Mark III is more raw, dry & vintage sounding. Mark IV is easier under the fingers, slightly more HiFI / 3D sounding, awesome lead channel. Cleans are amazing on the Mark III - maybe a tiny bit better than on the Mark IV. The controls and tonal options on the Mark IV are 10 times better than on...

I don't think simul-class makes a huge difference personally although its a nice feature, both 100 watts and simul-class sound good to my hear (haven't tried any SRG). Simul-class does allow you to run EL34's in class A only so offer more options i guess

Pretty sure you will be underwhelmed if you just try one quickly. Like all Marks they are tricky to dial in properly and every amp will sound different so you would need to really spend some time with the amp to find what settings are best for this particular one. I would say if perfectly dialed...

Definitely some truths to this (and applies to a lot of other vintage/collectable gear). I was lucky enough to buy a couple IIC+ when you pick them up around 2k usd (which was already a lot of money at the time for a 20+ year old amp) and dont plan on selling them so got no vested financial...

New Mesa's always have a different character/tone/feel than older ones (up to Mark IV imo) not saying one is better or worse but I think that has a lot to do why the original IIC+ still has its own going on that can't 100% be replicated by the newer amps. Maybe due to transformers, PCB...
