Best pick-up you have experince with for nasty harmonics artifiacial or natural.

I use duncan dis/ dun cus and jazz.
I prefer duncan custom harmonic sounds.

stock pearly gates. right now i have an a8 magnet in it, which sounds much fuller, but it seems as if it choked off my harmonics. i don't mind much tho since i do alot of riffs and ska stuff.
 
Re: Harmonics galore

For me it was a Full Shred in an Alder superstrat I made. It was not F-Spaced, but it had a Floyd. The harmonics just jumped out of the guitar. I don't have it wired into anything right now, but I never sold it just in case there was some mojo in it. Since then I've tried other Full Shreds and they're all the same, but for some reason I have a sentimental attachment to this one, I think because it was like the first time I ever had a guitar where the harmonics jumped out at every interval, and it was around 1990-92 when getting harmonics was pretty important!

full shred, screamin demon, custom 5, and bill lawrence l-500l. The full shred neck and L-500 L is a very tight combination I just tried out and it makes an excellent versatile set. I recommend it. I also hear the dimarzio FRED had some great harmonics and I intend to try it out sometime.

The degaussed A5 '59 and the slightly degaussed A2 '59 both drip with natural harmonics. The JB is also a very harmonically rich pickup for an A5 humbucker.

Of course, most A2 vintage output humbuckers will also be harmonically rich....
 
Re: Harmonics galore

Bill and Becky Lawrence L500XL and L500L, Breed, Evolution, Custom, for passives.
EMG '81 + 18v for actives. I love 'em!
 
Re: Harmonics galore

The JB in my Jackson SL3 is amazing for harmonics, but that guitar is just all round fantastic.
The Bill Lawrence USA 500XL I put in my Jackson Concept JDR is also amazing for harmonics. Can't believe how good that pickup is for the price!
