It all depends on the result you want. The "best" is all a matter of opinion without an objective.
However I have s load of old youtube vids and instagram things that you may find useful.
I use 3 different types of rg and two different types of jem.
If you want I can take an EQ request using my gear and you can create your own test through me.
I have;
rg550 - rosewood board, miracle man bridge, crawler neck.
RG550 - rosewood board original v1, v2, s1 pickups (tuned to d) can be used for comparison puposes.
RG550 -maple board, Holy Diver bridge, irish tour middle, vhii neck.
Jem - alder, ebony board, evos set. (Used for comparison)
Jem - basswood, maple neck, flipped evo neck, modded v8 bridge. (Tuned to c) (for comparison)
Frm250mf -mahogany, maple top, rosewood board, les paul scale length, tuned to Eb, dimarzio air classic set. (For comparison)
Amp- blackstar ht studio 20 or fender vaporizer
pedals- boss dd7, ds-1x l, Dunlop wah, danelectro french toast, danelectro reel echo.
(Ps I won't be swapping any pick ups around)
hope I helped!
