The Nailbomb would be great.

The thing about the Nailbomb is that you can get such a great range of rock tones just by wonding down the volume control.

Mark.

I still find the nailbomb too agressive when I back down the volume. Maybe it's just me  :)

If you want something a little less agressive than nailbomb I think Rebel Yell would be the way to go.

Thanks for all your input,

I'm ready to take the plunge and get a pair of nailbombs and just want to check, do you get life time warranty if a luthier orders the pickups for you? or is it only if you as the customer order them directly from Tim?

Duncan, the guy who built my guitar is going to fit them and give the guitar a long overdue setup etc and I just wanted to check that I wont lose out on the warranty if he orders the pickups.

Thanks

Hi,

warmoth described Paduak as "tone similar to maple with great mids and attack". With a maple top and an ebony fretboard, that describes as a very tight sounding guitar.

Crawlers might be very good, see BigB's post. Those pickups would also do classic rock and do it well  :)

About Rebel Yell vs. Nailbomb; Rebel Yell has aggressive mids, and not that much bottom (at least to my ear). It's brightish and voiced to sound great in an LP, I probably wouldn't choose it for this guitar..
