Are there different ways to make your electric guitar sound better other than a different amplifier?
Pickups: Different pickups have different characters. Fender single-coil pickups wouldn’t work well for death metal, nor would DiMarzio humbuckers work well for vintage-style rock. Swapping out pickups can do wonders — for example, I didn’t like the tone on my Flying V ’67 Reissue, so I swapped out the ceramic 496R/500T pickups for Alnico Burstbucker V pickups, and I’m much happier with the tone and response.
