ok. I play is a hardcore band. I need an articulate humbucker with great palm mutes. I'm looking to get a new humbucker in the bridge of my faded sg, because the stock one doesn't do the whole palm muting chunk as well as I'd like and plus i sorta broke it. Btw, I play into a 5150II or jcm 800 2205 head through a 1960a cab. No actives please. What do you guys think? I'm curious about the gibson 500t, and the dimarzio super distortion, but I don't know how they'd sound in an sg (to dark/muddy, or too bright/trebly).What do you recommend?Duncans, Gibson, Dimarzio? thanks alot for any help.

how loud is the custom?Comment

One more vote for the custom, high output, tight low-end without being dard, nice, articulate, that's what I have in the guitar in my avatar and it sounds great through my jcm-800 for hardcore..Comment

I voted for the JB because you mentioned you wanted a pup that was " articulate ". I think the JB is just that.

mahagony body, mahagony neck? this just screams for a JB. the mahagony will tame those heights but it'll still have it's tight crunch.. but the ebony fretboard makes me think of the custom too .. but wont that one sound a bit dark? too muddy? or will the ceramic magnet negate that and it'll just stay it's ordinary kickass self?Comment
-
wow, thanks for the replies guys. I think i'll check out the custom. How loud is it, compared to say...a jb? and Davey, I am wondering that too.Comment
