Hello!  I just recently discovered how good BKP sound and i am in need of some help.  I currently own a ESP/LTD MH-250 which is a Agathis w/ Quilted Maple Top neck-thru Maple / Rosewood neck guitar.  I cannot decide which pick up would be best for the sound i desire.  I am trying to get a pickup that can cover everything from Megadeth to Lynch.  I love the heavy tones in the Megadeth songs but i want to get the solo tones the George Lynch gets.  I can't really describe it but if anyone has a clue what i mean any help is appreciated.

i have no idea if it would be ok for lynch solo tones....

i was listening to some of the MM sound clips and they are very appealing to my ears.  They sound like they can cover heavier stuff then Megadeth too which is good.  Do they have a good clear solo tone, like does the MM make the notes stand out?

Miracle Man. And if you have a Diezel VH-4 handy, that will help. PDT_008
