  • Awesome song and video, tomrip ! What a sound! Ruefus is spot-on. That's the quintessential MW emo formula. I will say, though, that at 1:30 in the video I see them playing a P90-loaded Jazzmaster and what looks to be a Vox SDC with CoAxe hybrid pickups. These look to be similar to the pickups from the Vox Virage. Super transparent sound, but they definitely get single-coily when split. If this is the sound you're going for, you may consider starting with the source (though to my ears, a Tele would get you any of these tones without much fuss). All the best!
