which dimarzio?

[\m/(00)\m/]

ok, here's my plan of actions: echange evo for paf pro, if i dont like paf pro, i'll try super distortion, if i dont like SD i'll try FRED, if i dont like FRED i'll try steve special, and if i dont like SP i'll try BREED, and if i dont like that i'll try the norton. and if i dont like that, i'll give up on dimarzio all together and go duncan

anyone got ideas of a good single coil for neck/ middle?
also, does anyone have clips of the super distortion?

thanks :banana:

You stated that your sound was an "open" sound. I don't think you'll get that with a super distortioin. If you were to go with another one, I'd try an AirZone, not a SD.

For the neck I'd recommend an HS-3. The YJM is essentially an HS-3 w/ a staggered magnet setup that produces slightly higher highs. Personally I prefer the the HS-3, it's a little less squealy. But either one will cut out the noise, add some balls, and maintain a sweet "strat" tone. It's not a real hot pup either so it should match fairly well w/ a PAF Pro. Although maybe even a PAF Joe if you'd like a more balanced setup.

i tend to agree with sly, the fred is a great bridge pup that i used for years in my rg550 and it sounded great, its a little thicker than the paf pro which i like in the bridge. then i tried the patb3 and the fred lost its spot in that guitar
