Hey guys, I have a question directly related to both pickups: I'm debating which of the two to get!
The guitar I'd be putting them in would be in the bridge of my PRS Custom 24. It has a mahogany body and maple top.
What sound I'm trying to achieve: I want clarity despite high distortion, a slight amount of grit on top of the clarity, much like how a tube amp has that certain "rawness" to it. I also want the low end to be tight and not flopping around in a muddy mess. I'm kind of going for the sound that Misha Mansoor is (clarity in full-string chords, high output, etc.), but I also want to have a certain amount of naturalness to the sound. In essence I want a passive pickup that acts like an active as far as output goes, and has that hyper-distorted nature. Obviously both pickups do that, but I'd like some help deciding which of the two would fit best in my Custom 24's natural sound.
Thank you! :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention I tune to Drop-C/ D standard, if that makes any difference lol
