Re: Is There A Sd Pickup To Get Zakk Wyldes Sound
Sorry to say that but for a 7 string guitar, the most logical thing to do would be getting an EMG 81-7/707 set which would just be the 7 string version of Zakk Wylde's 81/85 6 string set.After all,I never believed that any passive pickup would sound fairly similar to an active one.
And even if you went SD,neither the old Livewire nor the new Blackout set sound similar to EMGs. Actually that's why they're preferable 'cause I don't think anybody would buy the replica of something from a firm like SD.It always should have a specificity to itself when it comes to SD pickups.It is so even on the Seth Lover ones...
Or if you insist on SD you can wait for the new Blackout Metal/Classic set to come out and see how you'll like them but otherwise like I said in the very beginning EMG 81-7/707..
