Usually I'm a Duncan guy, but I've been on a DiMarzio binge lately, and after swapping stuff around and trying out different sets... I like these, a lot. Left: Fast Track 1 / Chopper / IGNO Middle: Cruiser Bridge / Cruiser Neck / Tone Zone Right: PAF Joe / Super 3 The Fast Track 1 and the...

ah TIL

I like using Perplexity for research since it's basically "AI chatbot, but permanently hooked up to a search engine" This would be so helpful 10 years ago but now I just use whatever pickup sounded cool at the time :ROFLMAO:

Boredom lol

If we're talking about timbre/character, I'd agree that it's very attack dependent. (Although do also keep in mind I'm using 9s here, so those chugga chuggas are going to behave differently from 10+s) But it's one of the least volume-knob-reactive pickups I've ever used lol. Even more than the...

But with Dual Resonance

I got this pickup a few months back only because my old teacher had an Ibanez SLM that he liked for playing in pop cover bands. I remember checking on YouTube and most demos of this pickup were either in a Polyphia-esque Math Rock context or a downtuned metal song. In some rare cases it's an...

See? I think I've said this before but the JB is the "it just works" pickup lol I could change all my bridge humbuckers to JBs and be happy with that. The only weakness is that the clean sucks. However, splitting the coil in the Neck + Bridge position gives some of the best cleans ever, so...

I like the JB the most, then the Custom. I do not like the Distortion. It sounded too "grainy" I don't have a JB installed right now (no place for it), but it's definitely a fav.

I've used non-F spaced Super Distortions with strats I've used non-F spaced Tone Zones and Duncan 59s with Floyded strats I've noticed zero issues whatsoever

I actually forgot to post this, but I got this Kramer last weekend, put a DiMarzio Super 3 on it It sounds incredible, like, really good.

Indeed

They ran out of Satchur8s

I got a DiMarzio chopper, planning to get an IGNO I'm still thinking. For a HSS guitar with 2 rail pickups, what should I be getting? Another Chopper? Fast Track? Cruiser? Or do I get a Pro Track and put the Chopper in the middle? Lol

Got this earlier, but didn't get to post it until now A 2017 Momose 和 (wa) series Strat. Very nice, very well built. Body is Japanese alder and the neck is a very nice 1 piece quartersawn Japanese maple It's listed as sonic blue and looks sonic blue in photos, but it's a bit greener IRL...
