So I'm fixing up an old hss washburn and going down the kinda 80s metal path. I'm usually a single coil or lp guy so I'm tossing up whether to go overwound single coils or rails in the middle and neck. I kind of want to go the Iron Maiden ish route, hoping to get in the ball park of the cleans on Fear Of The Dark (album) and select songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name, those cleans are pretty clean, did they have rails in their guitars by Fear Of The Dark or was it still full size hums and a single middle (Dave Murrays strat) or did they use other guitars for clean. I want something thatll match with a medium to hot bridge pickup and if I go all hums (full size and two rail types) i'll have switch to split them all. Any thoughts appreciated?
Probs won't be duncans (thinking IronGear) unless I happen upon some secondhand for a decent price because they are really expensive in Australia atm (dollar value and other things), not really wanting to drop $200+US on pickups in a guitar I bought for 30 bucks.
