Hey all,
I have a 1990 Orville Les Paul Custom. I am gutting the entire thing so i can rid of all the crappy electronics. Simply put, I am a metalhead. I play through a Mesa Triple Rec, treble and bass as noon, mids at 11, presence at 10. Gain at 1. I use a MXR Zakk wylde as a conservative boost to tighten everything up and make it more "In your face". We play New age thrash with some progressive aspects added. I need a pickup that will hold its structure with loads of gain and with complex chords. I also need it to have a real nice Alex Skolnic-esque/John Petrucci-esque lead sound. Clean is huge for me too. I have to have my good cleans. Coil Tap is a must. I like the jazz for my Neck pickup, if there is anything better with my setup, please say so! For the bridge I am considering a JB, Distortion or whichever custom would go well. I'm not sure which cause I get all those customs mixed up!
:banana:
Peace,
- Burruss
