I'm looking for a bridge humbucker for my Axl Player Deluxe strat. In future, this 'bucker will be moved into other guitars, most likely a LP, an explorer, or another strat.
I play classic/hard rock, bands like Boston, Heart, Pat Benatar and Meat Loaf, although I have also been known to play bands like Whitesnake, Poison, Ratt, and Dokken from time to time.
Hi,
That's a bit of a challenge.
Boston: Tom Scholz played a Les Paul with a DiMarzio Super Distortion. There is no BKP equivalent to it.
Heart: Howard Leese usually played a PRS. No idea what pickups he used in that guitar.
Pat Benatar: not familiar with these tones at all.
Meat Loaf Bat out of Hell II: dito.
The 80s bands you listed: Cold Sweat, Holydiver, Rebel Yell and Miracle Man would all work. I would go for the Holydiver, since it works well in Strats but is also known to work well in Les Pauls. Not sure about the Explorer, though.
Cheers Stephan
