Hi all, sorry if I am repeating anything that has been asked before, i had a look through past posts but didnt see any definitive answers, so here goes!

I might be buying a sub1 guitar with a single bridge pickup. I am not a fan of the single pickup (gotta have the neck for the smooth stuff), but i might be able to get one at a good price. (Im in the uk so Ernie balls are pretty expensive at the best of times).

I just need to know if
1.Replacement pickguards for the sub are avaliable (preferably not in the diamond plate!)
2.How is the guitar routed...i think i read HH somewhere
3.Is the neck similar in profile to the axis!

Cheers!

I have two Silos and two Sub1's and initially, to look at them you may notice a slight size diff. but once you start wailin, there's nothing to keep you from stoppin...on both I might add...congrats on your new purchase!
 
Cheers guys, i havent bought yet, and truth be told im kinda looking about for a screaming deal on an axis/silo! My dad is going to the states to play a few gigs, so i can ship anything to where he is staying.
The rumored sub 1 deal is intresting too!

As long as you buy an EBMM :D

This just came to me, a SUB1 w/ S-S-S config, now wouldn't that be sweet! :D
 
If the SUB1 has universal routing, then I wouldn't mind trading it in for my Ibanez. and then change the pickguard to accomodate the S-S-S (or H-S-S) config.

I tried the $400 SUB in GC and I loved the feel of that guitar.

Can someone confirm?

From Google (and previous postings of EBMM Techs), it seems to be 2H's.

Yes I can confirm, that the feel of the SUB1 is loveable :D
 
Anyone have any idea how long GC will run the blowout. My da is going out at the start of feb, and i could send him to pick one up, but thats a bit useless if the offer is off!
Oh and if anyone is selling an axis silo or sub $700 max give me a shout!

If I lived in the USA I would gladly run down, by a SUb1 (I'd have to test it first though :D ) then ship it to you bro...hopefully someone will step up...or you can try starting a new thread asking for someone to do it...once you send them the cash, the rest is easy...now if at the end, you're still without...maybe I can part with one of my Sub's :eek: ...I know it hurts, but hey, the world needs Ernie Balls!

Good idea man, i just might do that, although being new to these forums im not really sure how reverse spam threads go down...is it generally considered ok?
I can get a sub new for about £400 in the uk ($800+) they are usualy £500 ($1000+ :eek: ) so if i could, i would pick two up at $400 each, I would get one for my bro to replace his wolfgang qt :D
