Hi.
This is my first post here., but I have been lurking for a bit. I'm looking for suggestions on what to replace my stock axis pick ups with. The problem I am having is that I find them sounding too muddy with individual notes in a chord getting lost when playing with gain, and a generally fizzy sound. I am looking for something that is tighter, with better definition, that cuts through but isn't ice picky. (This is a bright guitar to start with)
. I know some people suggest that lower output pickups is the way to go to resolve this problem, but I am not much of an expert. Any suggestions are appreciated. I have seen a lot of posts on other sites about replacing head pickups, but most of the time the answers aren't that helpful. Nobody seems to understand what's not to like about the baseline tone.
For reference, I really liked Steve steven's VHII demo tone. Just don't know how those would sound in a brighter guitar. A local shop suggested holy divers or emeralds...
Thanks
