Invader + Alder = Hell yeah!

[JB_From_Hell]

Anybody else have an Invader in an alder axe? I just stuck one in a Charvel super strat, vintage trem, w/ swimming pool route. The combination of all of these adds up to a killer sounding metal axe.

In my Jackson . Get's damned close to an LoG tone with my amp set up right, I love how dry and airy it is!

I think the Invader just has a sound that appeals to you which is fine if it tends to your needs! I put the Invader in my guitar which is alder but didn`t work for me. I think its more of a personal sound indifference rather then a bad pickup. If it works for you then go with it man!!!!

The Invader being muddy just doesn't make sense to me. I've had this one in a million guitars, even a Les Paul, and no mud. Thick with squeally harmonics all over the place...

I had one in a Tom Delonge strat (alder,hard tail, rosewood board) and it sounded great in that axe. I havent like the Invader as much in any other combonation.

Not that its muddy........there was something about the clarity or definition that just didn`t click with me,and believe me,i`m into the heaviest stuff around like Necrophagist,Nile,Deadborn,Emperor,Behemoth,Morbid Angel ect.....

Ya know, Karl Sanders uses one...

I'm into all that same stuff, and it does just show that tone is totally subjective.

Yeah i know...and he also uses the Distortion and Full Shred!! Maybe its a combination of other things as well but with my equipment it just wasn`t cutting it!

Invader + Me = Blech!

Eh I'm not altogether too fond of the Invader. It's good for bright guitars, but it lacks clarity IMO. And for anything heavy I play, I seem to always gravitate to a mahogany body, in which the Invader completely muds out in.

Me + Bright guitar = Alnico 2! :burnout:

You know I would really LOVE to try out an Invader, I reckon it would sound killer, but on the other hand I'm always extremely skeptical due to general consensus on this pickup.

Clips would be good

Re: Invader + Alder = Hell yeah!

I'm putting one in a guitar that I'm building which has a poplar body, maple neck/finger board. Can't wait to hear how it sounds. I've only played the invader in the Jackson Warrior which I believe has an alder body. Very nice.
