Hi,I want to get BK's to my guitar but I dont know what humbuckers will do best job for me.Guitar has mahogany body and maple/walnut neck 25'5 scaledrop A tuning.I'm playing metal and djents like Devine Heresy,Tesseract,Red Seas Fire,Periphery,Messhgah.Using neck pickup for warm clean ambient sounds and bridge for high gain and leads.
Thanks for help

Hi and welcome to the forum.
For the tuning and style you desbribe I would go for the Aftermath. It is what Misha of Periphery uses for a reason (he has nice clips posted on this forum too, really show off what the AM can do). The AM is dry, surgically tight and nicely middy. Probably exactly what you want, at least in the bridge.
The AM neck is great too, even has good cleans, but if you use our neck only for cleans you might want to get something else. I am not as sure on this one due to the output balance but something like an Emerald or maybe a Coldsweat would suit you well.

Has to be the Aftermath in the bridge for that style. I'd guess it should be quite a contrast in the neck so I'd go with the Emerald too or failing that, the Cold Sweat.

Definitely the AM bridge, and I think I'd go with the CS neck. Great combo

Thanks a lot for advice guys.Is a possible to buy calibrated set of Aftermath bridge and Cold Sweat neck or it has to be the same named humbuckers to have them matched?One again thanks for Your help

Correct me if I'm wrong, but calibrated only means they're the same kind of pickup.
