Duncan distortion or a JB.

Re: Please Help

yeah thats pretty much my guitar
i have pedals and things,so would i need a distorted pickup? i just want a fairlybright,clean tone that sounds very raw through distortion pedals ( i use a dr distortio by line6 and it sounds way better through humbuckers)

I like the Custom Custom for punk, doesnt mud up, stays quite clear, but has a bit of a snarl to it. I also had a bandmate who used a JB and that worked quite well for this sort of thing too.

Re: Please Help

i second the jb. good treble response and hi-mid bump. for a strat, i recommend 250k pots with it.

Re: Please Help

wait a minute, are you using a single coil or humbucker nearest the bridge?

 

[markf11]

Re: Please Help

a single coil for now,but it lacks the (for lack of a better word) umph my guitars with humbuckers have wit hthe pedals,so a single coil at the bridge,but want it to be a humbucker

Re: Please Help

59, Custom, C5, or JB would all work for what you want.

IF the clean tones are very important to you, stick with the 59 or C5.
