All right, I've got 3 Charvel 750xl's, all string thru. One has a pair of Distortions, another has a CC/APH combo in it. Both axes absolutely rule. They've got enough crossover tone that I can use either one for what I normally play, but are different enough that I can swap for a slightly different feel. My third one has the stock pickups that have got to go. I'm trying to think of something different for this one. I've got a pair of 59's in a couple of other guitars, so I've got the PAF thing covered. I've used a Jazz and Full Shred in the neck of one 750xl as well as the current pickups in the two I mentioned. The Jazz and Full Shred were just a little too bright for my taste. I love the Distortions for all out metal and shred. The CC/APH satisfies my lust for mids, and they can handle everything from bluesy grit to hard rock and metal. I need something a little different, but still able to handle the harder stuff. I can't stand the JB, tried the Custom in my 7 string RG and thought it was all right. I was thinking about a Custom 5 for the bridge, because I haven't tried that yet. The neck is going to kill me though, because I absolutely love the APH so far, and the Distortion is my favorite shred metal lead pickup. Is that enough to digest? I sure would hate to have to put another CC/Aph combo in this one. :smack:
