Duncan Distortion?

Re: Duncan Distortion?

Man the highs are the only part I never liked about the SH6...an alnico 8 magnet swap solves that?!

Buy yourself the PA TB2, better than mag swapping

Why the trembucker vs the pick up swap? it says best for trem systems/rosewood finger boards, of which I have neither :o is there a sound difference?

Re: Duncan Distortion?

I don't consider the Full Shred to be a hot pickup but it is quite articulate, The Distortion also has alot of cut....Another option might be the Dimarzio Evo 2 neck in the bridge....it's got sizzle and cut but not as hot as the Evo bridge.....

The D-Sonic is also up that alley if you aren't opposed to using Dimarzios.

Good thought. I didn't have the D-Sonic but I did have the Crunch Lab in there. I can really say great things about DiMarzio customer service. They were super helpful with some pickup ideas and exchanges over the years. However, I always go back to Duncan when it comes to humbuckers. They just seem to have more life and react more organically. IMO anyway.

I'm also amp shopping right now. For now I will keep my good old Custom V in my PRS until I figure out my new amp. Once I see how that reacts to my guitar I will probably give the Duncan Distortion a try. Unless the Custom V kills with the new rig...... you never know.

Oh yeah, listen to my latest album, its an all mahogany/ebony board V with the PATB2 in the bridge, all the rhythms were played with it...

Re: Duncan Distortion?

I really think the distortion would be a great choice. I really believe e you should look at the demon or full shred too
