<--- modern, thick, clear and organic... like the PRS HFS he uses.... "hot, fat & screams"

im looking for pups that most resemble the PRS custom 24 pups, will the holy diver cut it?

These are about the closest I know about. Dunno what they'll sound like in strat, though  :?

Sorry, mate, I have no idea. I've forgotten what Science sounds like, and dont have it.

won't sound so fat and heavy in a strat
i think it's brighter and a bit thinner
maybe if it was in a PRS or gibson

thats to the RY?


so the holy diver would sound thick in my strat?

Title: Pups??
Post by: ericsabbath on April 24, 2007, 05:06:02 PM

well... at least thicker than a RY
but not as beefy as a les paul... unless you buy a warpig  :lol:

i second the Holydiver motion

Post by: Supern00b on April 24, 2007, 07:31:39 PM

this can cover modern rock right [holy diver]

the HD's should be better than my stock humbucker....

yea, but i don't want that scooped ultra hi gain stuff, just that incubus sound.

you sound like you don't think folk's suggestion of the holydiver is right. I promise you it's a good pickup; it'll do incubus brilliantly.
