i havent had the pleasure of playing an old avenger
but i have PT which is fricken awesome

I actually find the bass to be a lot more boomy on my Fixed bridges than my tremolo guitars...

But yes, EMG's really aren't 'All that' when it comes to living up to reputation. In fact, I've found that I like the tone of the Ibanez V7 and V8 pickups a whole lot! Very defined without much booming bass.

You fail. Dean and Schecter are both American companies. ESP Is Japanese. Schecter and ESP are owned by the same person but are seperate companies, with Schecters custom shop being based in California, while ESPs is in Kyoto.

Both companies cheaper models are actually ghostbuilt by Cort, who currently produce the VAST majority of all guitars coming out of Korea, since they're Ghostbuilders for Ibanez, ESP, Schecter, G&L, and many MANY others. I believe the numbers are that Cort produce 80% of all Korean made guitars and basses.

For those of you still following us, this means that LTDs and non-custom-shop Schecters are actually built BY THE SAME PEOPLE IN THE SAME FACTORY USING THE SAME PARTS BUT DIFFERENT DESIGNS AND PROCESSES, WHILE THE HIGHER END INSTRUMENTS ARE BUILT ON SEPERATE CONTINENTS.

Please, stop throwing around incorrect information! I've already corrected you twice today and you've only just joined.

I don't even LIKE Dean guitars, but I'll bet a Fiver I know more about them than you do, given that you're regurgitating a lot of ill-informed answers here.

Also, you seem like an ESP and Engl Fanboy. Nothing against either company but nobody is infallible, even the mighty Ibanez I favour. Case in point?

Finally!!! Custom Tele done... - ESP Guitars Message Board

Read that thread. ESP Have made major ****ups on no less than 3 of that mans CUSTOM instruments that he paid thousands for. I've spoken to nileguy myself on occasion and he happens to be a luthier himself and REALLY knows his ****. The fact that HE was the dealer who filled out the custom quote form and that ESP still messed up his axes, is frankly shocking. He is no longer going to ESP for his custom builds, despite having a minor Endorsement with them last I checked.
