Re: POISON: C.C. Deville's pick-ups??
Ha! Funny read. I saw Poison twice in the 90s: once with LA Guns, Ratt, and someone else, the second time with Slaughter, Dokken, and Cinderella. Just as I though, once was enough (maybe even too much).
I suppose you can do CC with just about any pickup under the sun, but if it were me I'd start looking at the hotter PAF style pickups. Something out of the custom series would be a pretty safe pick.

I didn't knew CC had a big collection! He's (or was) such a heavy drug addict! I read some histories about guys like Joe Perry and Slash selling some good guitars to satisfy their appetite for hard drugs..
I wish nothing but the best to him.. Poison has some good rock n roll back in the past. I really like their live record "swallow this live". CC must not be the hottest player, but has some cool riffs, and seems to be a funny guy. Richie Kotzen is a killer player, but i never enjoyed his records with Poison. CC is the man!
I think a good old JB or Dimarzio Super distortion in a superstrat into a Marshall amp can nail that old Poison tone

Whatever pups he used, it certainly did not help CC/Poser, get good tone.

Re: POISON: C.C. Deville's pick-ups??
This is a spot where I could potentialy tell ya'll my HIGHLY EMBARASSING C.C DeVille story about this one time when he split his pants open while recording a guitar solo...
One of the many people I've met & worked with over the years...
But, I'll save the story and offer this advice.
There's a LOTTA guitar players out there.
Some of 'em are GREAT, highly talented musicians and really great all-around people.
Derek Trucks, Vernon Reid, Adrain Belew, Billy Gibbons, Warren DiMartini (if you're inta' that kinda thing) among MANY MANY others...
C.C. DeVille isn't one of the cats on that list.
Why dude?
Why?!?
Find another hero.
Someone who don't suck.

I think the most over looked element in getting the hair metal tone is hair spray. That stuff was EVERYWHERE you know some of I got on the pickups!

Were you asking us just to check out what pickups to avoid?

I had a guitar teacher back in the 80's who met C.C backstage at a club and C.C. was practicing. He said believe it or not he is a very good guitar player. So he asked him why he plays that cheesy crap he plays on the Albums and C.C responce was "for the money and chicks".

CC's done all right, he is a great live act. Kind of a Rock N Roll Jackie Mason you know with issues but whatever. CC isn't ever going to get any respect but I don't seriously think it haunts him or anything.
A Custom or a JB would probably fit the bill as well as anything out there.
