Thrashed Squier with Aliexpress $20 pickup 

Thanks! Regarding pickup, they do matter in a way, stock one was very muddy comparing to this one, it was impossible to have mutes sound like this, no 'bite' at all

@@KarloBatrla i totally agree. my hss squire bridge are too muddy and its really hard to make it chug.if i put to much gain it will sound like crap. do you use f spaced humbucker or the regular ones? im afraid that if i bought regular humbucker it might not fit

Just gave them a listen, one can tell we have similar influences :)

I had zero expectations, but guitar literally came to life

Can anyone who listens to metal recommend me bands that sounds like this? I’m not really a huge metalhead

Testament, LambOfGod
