Title: Neck single for metal

Which singles would go well with either the Warpig or Nailbomb?  They'd be going into a Floyd-equipped, bolt-on ESP.

A Trilogy would be the obvious choise but others have had great succes with an Irish Tour.

Holy hell!  I just read the Sinner's description, and it almost makes me want a Strat so I could have a trio of them!

Yeah, but it still sounds absolutely wicked!  I read some HC reviews, and the Irish Tour sounds pretty cool, too.

I have the Irish Tour in one guitar and a Trilogy in another. I haven't used the Trilogy yet, so I can't give you my opinion.

The Irish Tour is a great, mid-heavy SC that really cuts through a mix nicely. Sounds great clean or distorted.

Cool... thanks for the input, Ben.  Let me know how the Trilogy turns out.  

This is weird, a whole company's worth of pickups that are all a total mystery :)

Yeah, it's a real leap of faith compared to something like EMG, SD, etc etc, in which there are very few unknown quanitites. Chances are you can find someone that's played everything the other manufacturer's make.
It's a leap well worth taking, imo, tho. I know I've never looked back after doing so.

Yeah Ben
give me a comparison tonewise and outputwise between the irish tour and the trilogy IN THE NECK.

the only reason i´m looking tothe trilogy  instead of the irish tour is the output ...
and i need a comparison between the tone too.
Q:p

Ben should have his Trilogy set up for next week.  That is if the Floyd nut arrives!  I have both and prefer the Triolgy because I find the IT a bit bright, but I know Ben loves bright sounds so he might say the opposite!

Won't know until I actually try it, of course.
The nut shipped the day before Thanksgiving, so ... let's keep our fingers crossed! Maybe I'll actually have a new-ish guitar at rehearsal this week!!
