So, i've got an itch to possibly change the stock pickups in my Gibson SG and I'm kind of torn on what to put in it. Brief history lesson: I have 3 main guitars that I go back and forth between. Each with their own flavor. An iceman w/ a dd/59 and a les Paul w/ a jb/full shred. I love both...

i got a jb in my les paul. i like it. i mean, how doesn't? but i needed something more. i opted for the dd and i put it in my iceman. it sound pretty damn good. but it's a bit too much. now my first instinct would be to find something between the two, and everything seems to point in the...

how do they sound in mahogany bodies w/ mahogany or maple necks?

so i've been looking at the new Dan Donagen (Disturbed) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) signature models from Washburn. they 2 version of each of them, a lower quality model (70) and a higher quality model (75). one of the main differences between them is the pickups. the 70's got a matched pair of...

how do these 2 compare? my main concerns with the super 2 are: will it kick dirt onto my cleans? and who does the overall eq compare to the DD? (keep in mind i use a triple recto (the uncleanable) and mahogany bodied guitars, some with mahogany necks, and one with a maple neck and a DD in the...

how do they compare? i'm mainly interested on the eq and how well it the TT cleans up.

pros, cons, anything? i have a dd and think it has a great eq but it lacks a good clean tone. it's too gritty.

i really like the distortion tone i get on the Duncan Distortion, but since i run it thru a Recto, i can't clean it up very well. does anyone have a recommendation for a pickup with an "identical" eq and magnet, but with a better, "cleaner" clean tone? (remember, i'm running it thru a Recto) i...

i have a schecter scorpion that had the duncan designed version of the distortion (it's also f-spaced) i strung that guitar with 10-52's and found that the pickup responds perfectly for my playing style. i wanted to know if i put a DD trembucker in my ibanez iceman, will it still sound the same...

ok, so a while ago i found this great example of my playing style online. (so i didn't have to record myself and post it) i'm lookin for a bridge pup (brand or magnet type dont matter) that will pull off that high end clearity as heard in the sound clip with my current rig (see below). but i...

i have a gibson sg special that i'm looking to swap pickups in. i have an epi les paul that i dropped a jb/full shred-n set into and i think it sounds great. but i'm still not too sure about the full shred. anyway, i was watching this video of joe satriani playing "the extremist" on g3 '03 and i...

ok so i just got my new Ibanez Iceman IC400 and I LOVE IT!!! it's probably the most comfortable guitar i've ever played. the only problem i have with it is the pickups. they are good pickups. they sound really full, but they're a bit harsh on the highs. so i wanna change them. i heard somewhere...

can someone compare/contrast a dimebucker from a JB, tone wise (or whatever wise). i already have a JB and LOVE IT! but in light of the tragic recent events, i have thought about droppin a dimebucker in one of my other guitars. can someone help me?

i have a schecter scorpion that i tune down to one whole step down and one and a half steps down. and i usually have the d dropped. i've been thinking about swapping out the stock duncan design h-103's for a while now but havent really decided on what to put in it. i always had emg-hz's in the...

i'm lookin for new pickups (bridge and neck) for my epi les paul and possibly a schecter ultra (if i decide to get one). i have an sg special with gibson 498t and 490r pickups and they sound pretty good but they have their bad points. i need pickups that can deliver a sound that can be described...
