Hey guys and girls!
I am thinking about a custom guitar and have a lot of thoughts about the pick ups. Mostly I play high gain rhythm guitars and I prefer a sound with dominant highs and mids for that. I like the SH-6 in the bridge position for this purpose very much. Clear, powerful and hot. Everything I need! I have it in one of other guitars and I like it and I did not find any better on the SD homepage yet.
When playing clean or almost clean parts, I normally switch to the neck pick up. Here I want a really mellow sound: focus on the low end, strong mids, but only a few highs. The SH-6, which is also in the other guitar, does not the job it should in this position. So I listened through many different pu an the SD page. The one, whch satisfies my needs best is the SH-8.
My problem: I never heard about this combination, especially when playing the middle position (both pu). I am wondering if it would work because the sound profile of the SH-8 is very special, different from almost every other pu I know.
Did anyone of you try this combination yet?
Or any thoughts on that?
Maybe you also have other ideas which pu / combination would satisfy me needs perfectly!
Thanks for your help!
