Entry 25

Im looking at buying an Epiphone Explorer at Guitar Center because its only one hundred and ninety nine dollars. The only set back is, is that it has passive electronics and the magnets for the pickups are made of alnico instead of ceramic magnets. For some reason ceramic magnets seem to be a more sensitive then magnets made of alnico. When using passive electronics with distortion there seems to be a hum coming from the amp when not playing and when using active electronics it seems to eliminate the annoying hum.
