Re: lil screamin demon for strats
I have one in my G&L Legacy. The sound is like a cross between a full size Demon, and a single coil. Actually, it's more like 65% humbucker, 35% single.
The Lil Demon sounded killer through a 5150. Very articulate, but with a pretty big sound. It actually sits very well in the mix when playing with a full band. You could certainly play hard rock with it, and even metal if your amp is up to the task.
The one thing that I did notice was that it was not an easy pickup to play, meaning, if your used to high output distortion type pickups (JB is a good example) where you can get away with not being accurate, the Lil Demon is going to show any slop in your playing. Overall, a great sounding pickup, but you better be on your game, especially when it comes to playing any lead guitar.
