Because the Miracle Man will do the music that you mentioned the best and is generally aimed at that particular style.
It is often compared to the EMG's (mostly the 81) which is what you mentioned.

Please not forget that I am trying to obtain a great metal tone, and so it doesn't muddy, but I don't necessarily want the EMG sound.

Even though, they all look great !

Don't buy an Agathis guitar then :lol:
Nobody even knows what that wood is.

agathis really sucks
the only wood worse than it is brazilian marupá that most brazilian guitar brands use
Riff Raff, Mules, Black Dog, VHII's, Cold Sweat

Yep. Lower-line BC Rich made from agathis aren't good. Their basswood are a little better (like the one I have... the change will be pretty dramatic :D ). What I meant by this... is that I don't have to have EMG tone or ceramic tone or anything.

Since I play mostly rythm, do you think the Miracle Man would be a good choice ?

Tim responded to me yesterday. Apparently, the MM/CS combo would be creat, but he also recommended me the CWP/NB combo. Has anyone in this forum tried it, and even better, owns them ?
