Ready to Ratt-n-Roll! The new Warren DeMartini Signature Snake was designed and built to Warren’s demanding specifications. they aren't going to cure cancer, but they are nice.Charvel Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Guitar for my rig, I'd suggest the CC and the RTM could be game changers for people that might've thought the same about some of the lower output A2 models out there. which really steered me away from trying other A2 pickups. when I tried the Pearly Gates in the bridge of my alder Strat w/ maple board, I wanted to like it, but it didn't work out for me. the highs are still screaming, but not piercing. the CC is louder than I expected and also feels tight in the lows while letting the harmoics jump out and having those sweeter highs. the Custom Custom is in a maple neck-thru with alder wings and an ebony board. so I can only speak to this RTM and the Custom Custom. I've had APS models but it's been so long I cannot remember much about them. With regard to the A2 pickups, at least in my rig. a 4-con option would've been a no-brainer for me, but getting some real-time face-to-face feedback got it into a new territory for options that would've otherwise left me missing out on what I think to be a very nice pickup. It's not a pickup that I would have expected to like, but having MJ and James there to explain some of the Custom Shop pickups in more depth really helped. that's still not saying I'm going to replace every bridge pickup with this one. which is to say that I am very pleased with the RTM model and would buy one again. if I'd have known it would sound like this, I would've bought a 2nd one to put in the other guitar that has rosewood instead of ebony. Have never paid this much for a pickup (even at the lower pricing for the show) and have never bought a Custom Shop pickup before. I'm not seeing where this could be compared to a JB with an A2 in it.
it's going up against a STK-S4 in the neck and the respective outputs balance well.
it feels a little tight on the lows, which is not bad. the highs are sweet but still have bite, allowing harmonics to jump right out. in this solid maple guitar with a maple neck and ebony board, the pickup is pretty tight sounding. not at all what I expected from an A2, in a good way - which is also the case with a Custom Custom I picked up last month. it was already signed by Warren Di and Seymour, so MJ signed it as well.Īfter installing it, I am happy with it. I have a few ESPs that are all maple with with switching for neck single only or bridge hum only with no other switching options! the RTM would work great in one of those. MJ said she could take an order right there for a 4-con, but James indicated the pickup would go well in a bright guitar like maple. The Ratt guitarist sits down with GW to talk about his early days.

By Joe Matera published September 08, 2013. the RTM was calling to me, but the 2-con wiring was limiting my choices. Ratt's Warren DeMartini Talks Gear, Trusting Your Instincts and Embarrassing Gigs. the 78 would be a nice conversation piece, but I have no application for something with that output. I thought about buying them both, as I continued to walk around the booths. both were pretty good prices for the show. we got to talking some more and she kept steering me toward a 4-con trem-spaced 78 model and a trem-spaced 2-con RTM. then on Saturday I took a few JBJs back so MJ could sign them. all the production models were standard-spaced or not neck models I was looking for. on Friday, I wasn't sure I saw anything I'd be interested in. Went to the guitar show, not knowing that MJ and James would be there. Picked up one of these this past weekend.
