IMO, if you want a EVH pup, just get one from the SD custom shop. I would never mess with a pup in case something went wrong.

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
Well that's got the output about right, but it's also Alnico V like the Demon. I think that'll be too bright.
One of my favorite pickups are Gibson Classic 57's. I should mention, I want something that's F spaced for a strat.
I'm curious on the magnet swap. Anyone know?

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
dimarzio virtual PAF bridge, even though it has a lower resistance it has more output than a 59 or classic 57
myself i am getting one of those blues saraceno pups
it is a alnico 5, 9.8K paf type that is very balacned and does not have that real toppy high end.
I had the demon briefly and found it to be too present and toppy so this blues pup will be a much better pup

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
Maybe it's the pole pieces that are different on the demon?? I just read something like that. I'll check out the blues sacareno pickup. But I think I want an Alnico II mag, as they are warmer.
Hmm, thought I was on to something. What mag is in a pearly gates? Maybe I just have to bite the bullet on a EVH.

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
the PG is trebly and has as much top as the demon even though it has a II
:smack: :laugh2:
I am going to send you a PM about something
I think that if you like the tone of the EVH then that is what you should get cause they really is NO two pups that sound alike.gypsy said:

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
I put an A2 in my Demon for about 3 months a while back and it basically sounds just as you described. The midrange increased making it fuller (yet still open sounding), bass became a little less tight (but not mushy at all), and was less bright overall (but still had plenty of high end). However, I missed the tighter bass and presence of the stock Demon, so I put the A5 back in. Give it a shot. It's an easy mod and you can easily change back if you want. :wink:

Re: EVH & Screamin' Demon?
Thanx everybody for the help and ideas. I bit the bullet and just ordered one up. An EVH that is. I requested that it be a touch hotter, around 9.7K. I think that will work nicely with my strat style guitars. I'm excited about it because it's always been either the weaker Gibson 57's which are around 8.4K or so, or a hot pickup like the Customs, JBs and hot rails. I never really was happy with any of those really hot pickups.
I'm looking forward to this "medium" output bucker. Never had one.
