lol, I was looking at the other thread and I'm like... "I'm confused"...
I like the bridge to balance out with the neck - and the neck being louder.
I'm pretty limited with what I play, no experience with the other genres.

i prefer the same output for the bridge and neck, at least in a les paul. lower output neck pickup altough it balances with the bridge in volume does'nt cut through well. it sounds weaker although the volume is the same with the bridge pickup.

I like them for rock actually. They're pretty versatile. My Custom kinda sounds like a PAF, ya know.

I like low to medium output pups for everything. I condsider everything in the Custom line and down what I prefer. I can appreciate the need for much higher gain pups for aggressive, massively compressed and crunch to the max.
I prefer to hear the sound of the guitar breathing through the amp, and then let the amps tone, as well as any effects you might be using, shape the sound. I think it's easier to add distortion, compression, ect than it is to try to clean up an overly hot pup.
Just my opinion...that's why they make so many types of pups. I would have voted everything, but it wasn't an option.

Hey... are we talking about pickups with high versus low output (in millivolts), or are we talking about "hot" versus "underwound" tone?!

I voted everything. I can put a '59 through my KRANK and I can get all the gain I need.
I get my gain from my amp, not my pickups. I like my pickups to be the foundation of my tone (besides the natural tone of the guitar), and just build from there. Thats why I always had so many problems with higher-output pickups, cause I could never get "that sound" straight from my guitar.
Though, I gotta say, the invader in my H-207 is a nice change of pace occasionally. I still use my carvin 7 string equipped with the 59/custom hybrid as my main 7 axe though.

Low output for the neck.
Medium to high for the bridge, unless it's a guitar that's naturally unusually beefy. Heavier seems to work better for me even with classic rock and blues.

I like bridge to be louder so i can use the middle option quieter (for rythmn) but the neck loud enough for lead (with the volume pegged)

I like the bridge to be higher output then the neck so i can get a trebley rythmn sound by mixing bost pickups (turn down the volume control cut too much treble)
