no, its nothing like that. see, I have a collection of almost 30 guitars, and every now and then I buy a new guitar. well, I have them build for me. and depending on the theme, I want pickups to match. so I don't need 'the perfect pickup'. just a pickup that will do something that will suit the guitar
like my current project: a vintage vibed guitar with modern appointments, so I need pickups with a vintage vibe to them, but they should be able to do some more modern stuff too. like Billy Gibbons; he uses really just one pickup, the pearly gates, for his older, vintage stuff yet he can also do his newer stuff which is really heavier than his older music.

Fender says the Wolfgang pups use Alnico V. I believe them.

I tried the screaming demon once,but I didn't like it that much. I believe I found it to be too nice,not nasty or dirty enough,and... Too warm. I have a fullshred/distortion-neck model hybrid in that guitar, and that's much better. Same guitar that had the custom,by the way. I only have to swap out the alnico8 for an a5 in the neck,cause its a bit too warm. Perhaps uoa5,haha.

I had MJ rewind a PG and a Alnico II to evh specs and it was half the price, +
they sounded Great. I had her also wind a evh - 78 with a degaused ... 20 - 25 gauss A2 and it sounded great. A little smush, but not overly, Lows and Low Mids are Great.. No upper Mid harshness of the JB or 59 Bridge pups.
It really depends on how tight the Lows are and how brite the Highs are in the guitar it may go in. I had a JB in a 'pseudo korina' Epi V and it was perfect, due to the light spongy wood of that axe.
MJ is the way to go.Well the ones i heard were not generic at all but i also dont feel they are worth the custom shop price they are asking for these($160 a pup!:eyecrazy
If i am spending that MJ gets a call from me then!:naughty:

Does EVH use a sustainer in the neck?, 'cause that could be the reason, I think you need at least 14k for the sustainer to work properly.
