The DD does fantastic harmonics. Even says so on the tone chart.

EMG 81, Dimarzio EVO, Seymour Duncan JB, Bill Lawrence L-500XL.

i think the guitar has a lot to do with it as well

they ring out on some guitars more than others.. i know my squier strat is dead in that regards (yes.. i know it has single coils - i'm comparing acoustics)

my other electrics seem more alive with them.

The Distortion has tons of harmonics, every single one of them easy to hit. And the fact that it is the best metal riffing pickup ever doesn't hurt.

Distortion sounds good, but the JB i can personally vouch for and its fantastic!

Having said that though your rig has to be set up with pretty tight focussed gain to be able to pull off great harmonics. With my ENGL i can get screaming harmonics out of my JB equipped guitar...but also with my gibson equipped with burst bucker pros. You just gotta be able to get em with your fingers, and have the right kind (and large amount) of distortion to coax them out and keep em ringin

JB, DD, Custom- lots of SD's that have accentuated harmonic response.

Definetly the JB, but the Rio Grande BBQ has the most harmonics I've heard to date.

the PG claims to have great harmonics

Re: pickup with great harmonics?

Thru my rig, and with the proper technique, I've gotten good harmonics from the PG, followed by the JB, then the PC, the Seth, and the Custom. The CC can also pull them off, but it's not as easy as the others.

Harmonics are more about technique than pickups. But they are a little easier to get with higher output pickups.

The Dimbucker has excellent harmonics as well.

Family Guy....ah...what an awesome show.

Anyways. Are there any pickups that have awesome harmonics and also will thicken up the bridge position of a Strat? NOTE. I already have a TB-5 in there, I get phenominal harmonics but it can sound thin and trebly... what has harmonics and will sound fat in comparison to a TB-5? ...... I was thinking BBQ, CC, or Air Zone ...

Re: pickup with great harmonics?

family guy kicks ass!

anyways, the reason im askin is because the super distortion in my les paul , though it has good harmonics, is very thick and sometimes muddy. i want something thatc an balance well with the 59 neck i have in it right now.
i was first considering the jb but it may be a bit to bright but i dont knoe

Are we talking natural or artificial harmonics.

Re: pickup with great harmonics?

I was talking about both... natural above artificial though....
