Re: tired of this dimarzio pickup....
...maybe less time depending on the amp/guitar/pup configuration... but Dimarzio is still way better then alot of stock pups on low end guitars.

Well, maybe not the dumbest thing I've ever heard...
I do think that most of the Duncan pickups are more complex in their tone.
However, for styles like metal, complex tones CAN make your tone mushy, depending on how you have the rest of your rig set up. In short, different pickups for different people. If your DiMarzio sounds good to you, fine. If it doesn't, try another DiMarzio. If you don't find one of those you like, try some other company. It's all a crapshoot depending on your style and setup, the strength of your hands, and technique anyway (and how your brain interprets sound frequencies, but let's not digress).
Bottom line: If you hate your pup, rip it out and try some more; that's half the fun anyways!!
Good luck!

Re: tired of this dimarzio pickup....
I don't think the Dimario pups are a bad ones. I just think that they aren't the best ones to mach my guitar. This is the reason why i would like to try then in another axe. They acentuate the inerent mellow tone of my guitar and the result it is awfull. The guild S-100 has a natural bright and tight sound so the PAF classics will mach this guitar in a better way (Or, at least, it is what i hope). I the other hand the S-100 comes with a 59' and a JB and their would give my guitar (the one that has the Dimarzio now) a tigher and brigter sound. (Again, that it is what i hope)

Re: tired of this dimarzio pickup....
I'm sorry but I don't think Duncan's are more complex in their tone at all. It's bobbins, windings and magnets....not magic.
Duncans tend to sound more traditional in their pickup line as a whole and whereas Dimarzios tend to break from that tradition to make some really off the wall designs. I like both companies personally and use both companies.
