Everything Axe Loaded Pickguard

Am probably going to drop the dough to buy one of these with good pots, wiring, etc. so all I have to do is install it as one piece. Two questions:

1. Anybody companies that do these that I should buy from/avoid?
2. Anybody love/hate the Everything set that would give me other advice? I'm a blues/classic rock/little bit of hard rock player. Also do a little bit of praise and worship music (Edge type tones...)

Thanks,
 
Re: Everything Axe Loaded Pickguard

Here's my post from another thread. Option 1 is referring to the Seymour Duncan "Everything Axe" pickup set that they offer. The rest of the post should make sense now:


I have a modified version of Option 1 in my Strat. I put another Lil '59 in the bridge instead of the Jb. Jr., and I absolutely love it. I achieved everything I wanted out of the strat which was crisp and clear cleans, heavy overdrive, and a thick fat tone overall. It's a very versatile guitar and if I crank the tone knob, I can still get some signature Strat twang out of it. At some point I will coil split the bridge and neck pickups but I'm fine without it right now. So anyway, I voted Option 1. Jb Jr or Lil '59 in the bridge...either way you will be satisfied.

Edit: I will add that I hardly ever find myself using the duckbucker or the in-between pickup selections. It's either strictly neck or strictly bridge pickup 99% of the time. Probably just my style of playing, but I find the duckbucker to be thin and weak and prefer the Lil '59's much more. I've thought about replacing the DB with another Lil '59 and just having a consistent pickup across the board.
