Re: Live Wires Metal Humbucker?
It's a good enough bridge pickup if you only want screaming, abrasive metal. I found it totally useless as a neck pickup. A lot of people on here always talk about how poor the clean tone from an EMG 81 or 85 is, but the Live Wire Metal's clean makes the EMG's clean tone sound like a 59 or Jazz.
I would highly recommend EMGs with the 18v mod over the Live Wire Metals.

The Live Wire Metal set is awesome, so much crunch, but definitely balls to the wall metal tone. If thats all you plan to use it for, then I would definitely suggest it, but if you play other stuff too, I would look into getting a high output passive humbucker.
