Hey Wayne, does Koichi use the same guage strings and pickups as you?

i dont know about the pickups, but i am almost sure that koichi would use the same guage strings, considering the fact that their guitars need to sound the same when they are playing the same thing, like in cannibal.

from what i've been reading lately i think he uses some ernie ball 13-56 and picksups um Seymour Duncan SH-4 Humbucker Reverse Guitar Pickups and well if u want to know wat guitar he uses Esp Ltd KH-602

thanks, figured he might have used lighter strings to do the solos easier, and I figured he used the KH-602, saw the skull and crossbone inlays when i saw em in chicago

Koichi uses the same guage Dunlop strings that I use. 11-54. When you're tuning down to A# those guages are actually fairly light.
