Hello,
I am in doubt choosing a set of BK for this guitar: Nailbomb or Miracle Man? or others?
The non-finished guitar in the picture is a neck thru construction, central part is maple with ebony fingerboard and wings are quilted mohagany (a special stock from 1965) spaced from the center by ebony strips;
the instrument have typical maple and ebony attack and definition plus low and low mid freqs balance from mohagany. Musician that will play this is metal oriented and wants the bridge pup rich of harmonics for solos, pinch harmonics,
palm mute and open riffs and a creamy neck one for sweep picking arpeggios, shredding ecc. but very definite.
I wonder if other players can suggest the right couple set based on their experience.
Thankz
J

Miracle Man sounds like a great idea!

Yeah, miracle man gets my vote too :)

Another vote for the Miracle Man, That guitar is an ideal home for it

Miracle Man is a great choice and I think is one of the go-to options for maple neck-thru, though I prefer my Holydiver. Both are superb pickups. If you want it tight and more modern sounding, get the Miracle Man. If you want the tone thicker and closer to an 80s tone, go for the Holydiver. You can't really lose either way as they're both excellent.

I second all the votes for the Miracle Man.
