I was looking at those (Apocalypse IV?) earlier today funnily enough. Clear bobbin covers too.

I keep hearing nice stuff done with the Black Winters to be fair. That' full circle. Do we implode now?

That was what EMG said to me. I'm almost on crunch levels of gain. The problem occurs with every EMG loaded guitar I try. I'll keep a pair for tracking and persevere with another guitar.
Our drummer is so loud all three of us guitarists need to crank it a bit. And festival volume levels are out of my control. I can cope with it and have done (while wearing ear plugs!!)
I'm selling a bunch of stuff and buying pickups. My Moog delay should pay for a few bridge pups. If I find anything decent I'll record some stuff.

Ooo, sucks you gotta sell that; you'll have to pry mine out of my cold, dead, thoroughly mangled hands.

Well, I'd have a talk with the drummer. If you were doing something that killed the show for him, I bet he would say something to you. I don't buy 'that is just the way I play'. The best drummers aren't playing that loud. You might look into a completely different system when playing with people like that...like in-ears for yourself and an onstage monitor pointed towards the other band members. I don't know if the current situation is worth losing your tone or hearing for.

Re: Replacement pickups for PRS SE Torero - Doom metal with string definition.
He's a very good drummer. He's a big lad and hits hard, but he does play ghost notes etc. I've only just inherited these EMGs so it's not really my tone, I'm used to Iron Gear Hot Slags which are awesome for £30. The pickups feed at relatively low volumes anyway so I'm definitely switching.
Zombie Dust pickups here in the UK are hand making me a pup to my specs for £75. Interestingly he agreed to put a ceramic mag under the wound strings and an Alnico 3 under the unwound B and E strings. I'm not even sure that's a great idea. I wonder if the ceramic might degauss the A3?

Re: Replacement pickups for PRS SE Torero - Doom metal with string definition.
It isn't being made yet. So any advice on how to create a pickup to help stop the unwound B and E strings from sticking out so much would be welcome. I'm going from the BKP Juggernaut which has ceramic with A5 flankers. I may just ask him to do that if you guys can see a reason why not to put different magnets in like I suggested.

Have you looked into Mojotone's PW Hornet?

The layout of the slugs and screws is meant to help that issue.

Check out the El Diablo. I have them in 3 of my guitars that play heavy metal of different varieties. In a mahogany body, I got really tasty sounds out of the clean channel, especially with the volume rolled a little back. They are pricey, but I love those things.

I've seen a few units with rails and three screws. I have two unwound strings...maybe if I spoke to them.

A heavy Alnico 2 .... Looks like fun. Is this how we end up with 15 guitars?
