My brother in law has finally seen the light, and ditched his Ibanez JEMs in favor of a Tokai Love Rock.
Very cool guitar, an LS92. Sounds great, Proper mahogany axe. Has a balanced sound and fat mids.
He is going for a similar sound to what I used a few years back. That old Vivian Campbell/ Sykes esque tone. He wants something similar to these two clips:
Go to 00:30:
And the sound in this (Scott is barely hearable here, so its all Sykes)
So basically, biting, yet thick, high gain old school sound. He has a good JCM800 2203 for this, so the basic blueprint for the sound is there.
We discussed this at great length, as he isnt a pickup buff, and came up with these options:
Seymour Duncan Custom
Seymour Duncan Invader
DiMarzio X2N
DiMarzio Super 2
Gibson Dirty Fingers (My old favorite - Sykes a la grande, I know, but also quite one trick pony)
Feel free to suggest other stuff, but please provide a reason why. No UOA5 or A8. He wants something that works, and I dont want to tinker with that stuff.
Hope you can help me, help him, bros
