Hello everyone,
Lately i've been updating some of my guitars that sounded "good enough but not quite what i want".
My superstrat (EsP George Lynch) only has one bridge humbucker.
It's heavy as hell and tuned to drop C# with 11-52 strings.
Currently it has a Lace Dually Red/Silver.
Great pickup, It sounds perfect for Doom/Stoner.
Unfortunatley that isn't what i play !!!
I tried a ScreamīNg Demon which i liked in my Jem, but it sounded very harsh and dry in this one.
I want a fat and brutal metal tone. precision and clarity.
Not too hard or dry i need some "fat" to offset the brightness of maple.
This guitar is mostly dedicated to play dropped tuning metal riffs, Pantera, system of a down, deftones, Metallica....
The guitar is all maple and has a very bright and "hard" sound.
It's not muddy and handles downtunings with utmost precision.
has a LOT of "growl" (it sounds savage really).
Since there is only one pickup, a little versatility in the split coils / clean sounds department could help.
So far looked at the following:
- Invader
- Lace Deathbucker
- Nazgul
- Pegasus (seems great for clean sounds)
- Alternative 8
If you have feedback from pickups in downtuned guitars let me know your experience is very valuable to me !!!
