Ahhhhhhhh i m kinda asking that cause i played a LONG LONG LONG Time ago a MINI guitar with a DMZ Super Distortion n bridge., and i remember it is VERY hot and Nervous. like im picking my  strings ON fire

and i felt the same way with the 500t but with a considerable reduction of agressiveness and hotness

I highly doubt it, the Gibson "T" pickups are supposed to be quite trebley but the Super Distortion is too mid-rangey.

I had one in my SG and it just sounded like ass, too muddy and no definition whatsoever.

hey hey ;)

i tried both the 500T (standard pickup) and a 70s Dimarzio super distortion in my gibson '67 faded flying V.

they both sound very different. the 500t sounded a touch scooped maybe, and the SD was more mid rangey. the 500t was more agressive treble-wise, but worked with the character of the guitar, the SD was /slightly/ less hot, but more friendly, and i thought it had more dynamics. i prefered the SD.

overall they both weren't bad. but, i then plugged in my mule/stormy monday loaded epiphone '58 V and it totally sh!t on the gibson.

i have a set of black covered riff raffs not fitted in anything. i keep meaning to get these changed to chrome covers and put them in the faded V.
