Hot pickups are fun to jam at home with, but I find them less useable playing live, for the music I like. I'd love to have a guitar loaded with a dirty fingers or super distortion to crank up and play with. They are more muscle than I would need if I was sitting in with a band, even though i dont gig.
My custom shop creation is badass but it's as hot as I wanna go. I do have a double thick A2 I cant wait to use in a lower wind pickup, like my jazz bridge or an old '59b. Itll be a 2nd guitar project thoughEpiphone Les Paul Tbte Plus (SD custom shop humbucker & SH2b neck)

I've never tried A8 in anything. My favorite is A2 but I also like A5 in some (Screamin' Demon, Perpetual Burn, P90's) and ceramic as well (Super Distortion). It's tough to beat a good A2 pickup though. The Custom Custom is probably my favorite there and am glad I'm using it again.
Even though this is a Seymour Duncan forum, I have to say that the Airbucker technology that DiMarzio uses with A5 pickups is a really cool thing. The way I hear it, and after using a few models with it, it brings out the best of A5 and A2 in the same pickup.

I've always wondered by A8 isn't used more widely tbh. Maybe many people do find it obnoxious after prolonged usage after all.Originally posted by Myaccount876Attenuators are for pussies. Neighbors calling the cops isn't a problem - if the cops can actually still decipher the neighbor's complaint on the phone with the Marshall in the background, you're doing it wrong and it needs to be louder.

I think that it works very well in the Alternative 8. I didn't like it as much in a JB. As with any magnet, you should design the rest of the pickup around it for best results.
