Title: What pickup shall I put in this?
Post by: NPH on November 07, 2006, 10:41:07 AM

I want something with good output but classic tone. Have mules in my LP's but want something hotter for this.

It used to be an Ibanez RG750 but now it's called Gizmo.

Had a VH2 in an LP, liked the mule better. I don't mind it being high output, just not "shouty" if that makes any sense. Maybe a Crawler would be good.

I'd have to say VH2's or Holy Divers. Holy Diver's in RG's work really really well. I have a set in mine and they sound great. They blow the bland sounds V7's out of the water.

i think that basically any pickup would work in your RG - but we need to know what do you want it to sound like in order to give a prognosis. bands? songs?

If it were my guitar I'd get a Miracle Man as I think the sonics would match the graphics! But a Holy Diver would be good for a fatter sound and Nailbomb for something more crunchy.

I was gonna say VHIIs or Rebel Yells... VHIIs mostly for the one pickup thing for "authenticity sake" lol.

Thanks for all the sugestions (sorry for starting another "list the pickups" post)

I think a crawler may be what I want as this guitar is for when I stop playing classic rock and blues and need to have more grunt from the guitar, without going out and out metal. VH2 was considered but as I mentioned, I did not get on with the one I tried.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
