All my guitars are right now in the best tonal condition they've ever been.
I can find absolutely no faults or criticisms about any of them. They all sound exactly how I want them to sound and I'm VERY pleased with those sounds.
Which leaves me with a couple of questions:
1) Should I bother buying any more pickups, just to experiment with?
2) If I do buy another pickup, wtf am I supposed to do with it? I'm really hesitant to change out the pickups in any of my guitars because they all sound so good, I have no real incentive aside from morbid curiosity.
Up until about last week or so, I was thinking about ditching the Custom Custom in my hardtail strat and getting a sorta medium output pickup like a Screamin demon or a '59/C hybrid. But then I changed out the A2 magnet to a RCA3, and I couldn't be happier. It solved the tonal issues I was having, and it dropped the output a bit so that it responds a bit closer to what I wanted.
So now I have no need to try anything else. There are still so many pickups I haven't got any experience with though:
Screamin Demon
PG set
A2 Pros
Seths
'59/C
WLH
Black Winter
Any of the actives
Alt 8
Dimebucker
Parallel Axis anything
Stag Mag
P-rails
...nevermind all the custom shop models.
If I'm happy with my tone then is there even any point to getting anything else?
