Most versetile pup for METAL ?

Re: Most versetile pup for METAL ?

I had a JB and it was nice but not the sound I wanted, I wanted more punch, more balls. Just put a Custom in, very happy, nice pickup. Has more of what I wanted, but I want screaming harmonics, you metal guys know what I mean. The custom is a great straight ahead, raw, rock and roll pickup! My brother in law has a super 3 in his hm strat. I always like the "hollow" colored sound it had. Mabey I'll try one of those or a FRED. Will any of us ever be happy? Well It makes me happy looking and I'm SURE it makes Duncan and Dimazio happy! Anyone try a Lawrence 500XL? I hear they are pretty mean?

I'll throw down a vote for the infamous SH-5 Duncan Custom. I love the pup for metal and all things heavy! It's definetely versatile as well. I've never been a fan of the JB and could definetely never call it a metal pickup. It could do rock and hard rock for me, but when I wanted my metal moments, I'd switch guitars. Low end is too loose and airy, needed a little more "ooomph". $.02
