hey guys, I'm definitely looking to get some new pickups for my PRS SE Custom 24. I was thinking about getting a new guitar, but I just love the feel of this instrument over most other guitars I've played. However the pickups leave a little to be desired. That's why I'm here of course!
My band right now is a hardcore band with some post-rock/ambient influences. So, I'm looking for some pickups where I could get a nasty OD/Distortion with, as well as a very tight and clear clean tone. I play in drop tunings mostly, my most used tuning is CGCFGC (DADGAD dropped a whole step). I play out of a Fender Twin Reverb with an OCD OD and USA Big Muff for my OD/Dist. I'm looking for a Russian Circles-esque tone. I was leaning toward the Miracle Man pickups, but after thinking I may be better suited with a Miracle Man in the bridge and something else in the neck. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cold Sweat is great for the neck.

Maybe a Cold Sweat set. I think the bridge will give you clarity in your downtuned guitar, but I'm no expert on the subject. If you want a more aggressive bridge pickup you could go for a Nailbomb and pair it with a Cold Sweat neck.

I may go with this combo, I wanna go with a pretty agressive pickup in the bridge. And the Cold Sweat sounds perfect for the cleaner prettier parts that I'd use the neck pick up for.
