Pickup Suggestions
« on: February 07, 2006, 03:24:08 AM »

I need a suggestion for pickups in an Alder body and a Swamp Ash body.  I have been thinking about Emeralds but I'm not sure.  Does anyone have a suggestion for me or clips of different pickups in these types of bodies?  Thanks!
Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Phil Keaggy, Hendrix, Piage, Pettrucci.  What I aspire to be.

The Emerald in a Alder/Ash strat may be very bright sounding.If thats the kind of tone you are after then im sure it would sound grear.For more bottom end i would check out the Abraxas,Mule,Nailbomb.
Give us a idea of what kind of tone you are after.
Mule,Trilogy,Irish Tours,Holy Diver and Apaches.

I'd recommend the Nailbombs for the Ash body. Also I have GAS for a set of Irish tours. I'd order the pickguard set of Irish tours.

Just my .02 cents
