Pickup bucket list

I was just thinking about all of the pickups I've tried over the years and also some pickups that for whatever reason I never tried yet but should have.
There are also a few current offerings by SD that pique my interest as well.

I'm curious to hear what pickups you guys want to try out sometime but for now here is a list of pickups that I would like to get around to sometime just to see once cause I will most likely be surprised in a good way.

Here goes:
Custom/Custom5 I never tried any of the Customs but I'd also like to try an A8 and a double thick A5 and also a double screw version if I like it enough to explore it further.

59B I know I know...

ElDiablo Scott Ian the Demon version not the thick rails version although yea why not... haha

Black Winter
Alternative-8
Omega

EMG 57
EMG 66
Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic is another I really really want to try out sometime.
DiMarzio Magnetar/Satchur8
DiMarzio Gravity Storm

I never tried any Bareknuckle pickups but even some of those look awesome on paper such as the Holy Diver and Miracle Man among others.

I know I'm forgetting atleast another handful so I may edit this and add them in.

The only real combos I haven't tried that I want to are Fuglybucker neck, P-Rails bridge (with mag swaps and tricky wiring) and the Screamin Demon/OG El Diablo combo.
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

I'd like to try the El Diablo with the A2 rails.

Staple Soap Bar in the neck! I love P90s, really would love to give it a try.

Also JB/59 Hybrid in the bridge.
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

Yea idk why but that ElDiablo seems neat as hell to me. Unobtanium maybe?

Mag swaps are another thing as well such as a JB2 cause I guess Jake is using that or leastwise its being advertised as such in the Charvel Blue Burst which oddly enough is not available over the counter which is weird imo and it should be offered even though it's easy enough to accomplish.
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

I am sure there are plenty of Custom Shop creations I could think of. Thing is, with the guitars I currently use, I am very happy with the pickups in there. I generally won't switch things out for the hell of it.
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

I really want to revisit some old pickups in different guitars. I have put the same pickup in 2 different guitars and loved it in one and hated it in the other. I am mostly enjoying mag swaps at the moment. And when you dip into the custom line make sure you try a custom with an A8 mag. might be my new favorite pickup. At least in the maple neck charvel that it is currently in.

Aside from that I would like to try
black winter
fishman fluence line
emg 57/66
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

I've never had a Seth Lover.......
Actually, or the Ssl 1's.

I've gone down the PAF clone rabbithole, so the SH55 will probably never happen. And both of my strat ant sets were kicked out by Fender Fat 50's and Zhanbucker Refin's. But it would be interesting to try both options at the very least.
 
Re: Pickup bucket list

There's plenty of them. I'm pretty happy with what's in my guitar at the moment, but this is my list: '59b, Brobucker, Slash bridge, IM1, Pearly Gates neck, SDeco (a5 version), SD Custom, Super Distortion, burstbucker 3.

If I had a 2nd or 3rd guitar I could probably indulge a little more with this list but I hate to yank my current bridge pickup out because I love it in this guitar
