Accoustic Metal - Pickup like Jazz and EMG89

[Kurayami]

Happy you like the Cool Rails! The Black Winter is a little more 'modern' sounding than the JB, but still goes well with the Cool Rails. Honestly, it really depends on what you don't like about the JB.

I have a schecter c1 Classic with Jb and jazz combo. Now both my schecter and Ibanez sounds quite similar… I Would like a pickup a bit more modern. I also have an hellraiser with emg and I like it too. Im looking for Something in between +1. Thanks for your Precious help.

View attachment 6325702Thank you guys!! Project completed !! I like the cool rail! I think I’m ready to try Something new! Do you think it would be great to replace my JB with a black Winter? Do you have another pickup model I should be looking for as a Jb replacement ?

That looks killer As @Mincer suggested, think of what you don't like about the JB in that guitar first. I had the BW set in my 550, but it didn't last long. Both neck and bridge sounded very stiff and impersonal, maybe because that guitar just lacks low mids. After replacing the set with a TB-6 / Jazz set the guitar came to life magically. Now I have in there a double ceramic Custom in the bridge and an Alnico 2 Jazz in the neck, I think the double ceramic Custom is the better Super Distortion
In the 565VK I have a JB with A8 in the bridge, but I'm thinking about a magnet swap with a RCA5. This guitar is more balanced than the 550 so it might also take a BW better. But if you're looking for volume balance between neck and bridge you will struggle, BW is louder than the JB

It looks like the Jb is just fine for me. Maybe sh6 or custom. Black Winter is a bit too much for me.

If you like modern tones, check out the Pegasus, or even the JB Rails, which should notch it over to 'more modern', too.
