It's an Explorer build by myself. Didn't want to spent the cash for a real gibson of that guitar, so that kind of started it for me.
I followed your thread with the D-activator replacement (nazgul, SH-6 etc.) and i though maybe Dimebucker for you, but i think it was already mentioned.
Yeah i have a guitar i used to test all my Pickups in. It's kind of neutral sounding (nothing overbearing) but could use some more sparkle. Lots of PUs sounded boring. Guess what, i kind of find the unplugged sound also kind of boring, although there isn't anything bad really.
i guess we shouldn't make a final judgments on a Pickups based on testing it in one guitar only.
