Title: Juggernaut or holy diver?
Post by: Duck2587 on January 05, 2015, 06:12:26 AM: Was able to score a late 90s ibanez rg. It's plain basswood bolt on maple neck with rosewood board. Cheap "wanna be" floyd with stock pick ups. I'm hauling this thing over with a legit floyd with brass block, new tuners and of course a sweet set of BKPs! :afro:
So, juggernaut or holy divers? I want power, balls, and fantastic leads and I feel these two pick ups will best fit the guitar since it's basswood with maple. The natural sound of the guitar is even with a tad bit of snap. I play in standard tuning and play mostly shred and metal. I utilize cleans a lot when creating backing tracks so the pick up must be good with cleans. Doesn't have to be amazing like the mules but good.

It's not my priority but its something I need in addition to everything else. (Power, balls, etc.)

Although the Holydivers are a great choice for that guitar and tone you're describing, the Juggernauts will give you more versatility and will give you smoother cleans as you mentioned.

I only have my iPhone to record as of now. I'm just getting into the recording aspect of everything and learning how to make it sound as organic as plug-in-play. Stay tuned for the review and any tips on recording or tutorials would be helpful. Thanks. As always, keep it evil :evil:
