Hey all,
I know a lot of people use Invaders in Strat-style guitars and other various thin-sounding guitars to get a metal tone, but what about in a mahogany bodied guitar? I've got a mahogany Schecter with Duncan HB-103's (Duncan Distortion clone) in it and compared to my Gibby LP Custom with a Distortion in it, it's thin and very weak. These pickups honestly sound more like the SH-5 Custom did when I had it in my Strat minus a quarter of the output.
Now I liked that sound, but this guitar has 7 strings and is meant to rip, and if this guitar, although mahogany is tonally closer to my Strat than my Les Paul, I think a pickup like an Invader or a Blaze Custom is more appropriate than, say, a JB, based on what I'm looking for. So, would putting an Invader in a mahogany bodied guitar just be stupid or what?
