Argh, why do people think Buckethead is so great? He has no musicality whatsoever.

This is why i think Buckethead is so great. No musicality? Which planet are you from?

Have a look at 'Young Buckethead'.

Hey, I wasn't going to chime in with the Martin brand debate, but since we're now BMW bashing, I need to step in. I've had a BMW  convertible for the past ten years. Still have it. The car never broke down, although I'm always buying tires for it. I'm no snob, but if you have ever driven a BMW, you know that they are fun to drive and are damn reliable machines. I can't wait for the new BMW model One to come out this year!
I have also owned (and still do) American cars and Japanese ones. And please don't remind me of the Pacer I once drove (it was a loaner, ouch!).
These cheesy boxes don't even compare when it comes to driving fun, quality and chick appeal. There is something about BMWs that attracts women just like my Fender American Strat. Both the Fenders and the BMW are quality instruments. Now go back in the garage and kick your Chrysler K car (or the plastic Mustang and Corvette.)
Play on!

So the Martin owner is the BMW owner of guitars then...they don't buy it because it's good, they buy it so they can show off.

TIM & SGinCYQX (you have the most difficult NICK NAME) that was exactly what I was thinking.
If you are rich, and you are obsessed by guitars, and house decoration, I think I would by some of these guitars.
In your house (most made from wood) you give them a nice place on your wall.
ADMIT: The carving is real great, some are EXAGERATED, others not, and yet FANTASTIC as decoration.

It is grounding out, check your connections a bare or frayed wire is touching bare metal intermittedly thats why it works then it don't. Also EMG 81's are usually made for the bridge position (although the work in either position) because the higher "k" value.

Bootlegger.

Thanks Bootlegger! I was hoping you'd check in here.

Eh, maybe it's an 85? I know I've got an 81 and an 85, but I never remember which is which.

I think I'm just going to take it to the tech at the music store where I got it-I've been too busy to tear it apart myself, not to mention I have no experience with electronics and I don't particularly want to cut my teeth on my favorite guitar.

The 81 has the EMG logo in sliver and the 85 has the logo in gold, as stated (hope that does not sound snutey) the 85  is for the neck position and the 81 is for the bridge position.
