Pickups For My New Guitar

I've decided to go out on a limb and buy a new axe, even though right now my budget doesnt really allow for it...

It's a 25.5" scale, 3 piece maple neck, alder body, and a floyd rose. Contruction is neck-thru, and the guitar already has coil-tapping switches.

I was looking for pickups to do 70s rock/80s metal. I was thinking super distortion even before i bought the guitar, but id really like some other opinions on it. I'd rather it had dimarzios, just based on the fact that you can get them in pink. :burnout:

cheers guys

For 70's or 80's metal, it will be hard to beat the Dimarzio Super Distortion since about everyone and their mom was using it back then. It has my vote for 70's and 80's metal.

I would also go with the Super distortion for the Bridge. If it has a neck position humbucker... I would say PAF Pro may be a good option.

Rock On :13:

Oh yeah, and pick humbuckers are awesome. WFD has a pink Humbucker From Hell for sale (maybe still for sale..) check it out, it would be a great neck position companion to a Super Distortion as well.

JB all the way! and i beleive they are available in PINK! :laugh2:
as a matter of fact they are look!

JB™ Model

SH-4/TB-4 -- A completely balanced coil configuration produces great harmonics and a high output with just the right blend of sustain and distortion. You get the best of both worlds: from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. Combine this with the (SH-2) Jazz Neck and you've got Seymour's personal favorite combination. Available in black, zebra (cream & black), reverse zebra and white as well as the following colors at no extra charge -- red, red & black, pink, green, light blue, dark blue & yellow.
Recommended for Bridge position. Four conductor cable, with traditional or Trembucker spacing. Also for 7-string guitars, available in black only.
