That all depends on what you want tone-wise, what you don't like about yuour current PU's, and what style of music you play. What kind of wood is your body & neck? Give us something to work on.

Do you already have a SH-6 & AlPro2? It's an odd combo. The SH-6 is a bright ceramic, which is harsh clean, and your neck HB is much darker with an A2 magnet. This could be like the infamous Gibson 490R/498T combo, with a very bright bridge & a dark neck, making it almost impossible to get one amp setting that works well for both.
I can see the AlPro2 as a good jazz neck PU, but you can find much better bridge PU's to pair it with.

Once you decide on pickups, you will need to replace the volume and tone controls with 250K or 500K pots. You will probably also want a standard mono output jack (not technically necessary). You can keep the same switching and V/V/T arrangement, and even the wiring for the V/V/T and switch. Here's how you'll want to wire it:

Re: new guy here
Thanks you guys for the reply.The duncan distortion is a heavy pickup yes and am not to sure about the alnico neck? I have a 1999 jackson dr3 with a distortion bridge and a jazz 2 neck it sounds really great. But....... my friend has a brawley guitar with 2 custom alnicos bridge and neck i dig the neck alot and thought about the combo of distortion and alnico 2 pro just a idea in the kh202. Im also thinkin about distortion and full shred?

dude, it's a Kirk Hammet model. put a set of EMG 81's in it. :headbang:
if you insist on SD's, then I'd use a Distortion/59 set.
