2 Holy Divers or A Different Neck Pickup
« on: September 21, 2008, 11:13:48 PM »
I really can't decide on what pickup to get next. My BC Rich has Rockfield pickups that i'm quite happy with for the time being. My american strat has a single holy diver in it which i love. I was thinking of moving the scratchplate and holy diver from the fender to my EVH copy and getting a couple of new pups for the fender, but its a lot of expense. Ive decided id be better off just getting a neck pup to pair with the holy diver. i have a dual humbucker strat scratchplate and pots etc in the EVH copy so its just a case of making my mind up and doing it.

The easiest route is to probably just get another Holy Diver for the neck position. Are there any other pups that would make a good partner for my bridge Holy Diver or am i best to just get another one. Does anyone have a neck holy diver? how does it compare to the bridge pup?

ive been looking at PRS SE singlecuts, but it will be my 7th guitar and i really cant justify it without getting rid of one of the old ones. Trouble is for the money id get for them, id rather not sell them.

I could just get a VH2 for the EVH copy, but id rather spend the cash on the fender cos its a nicer guitar.

Yep, I have Holy Diver sets.  If you want to hear some neck clips, I did all my neck models played clean here, then the HD neck playing lead here (& some other neck leads here)

IMO the HD neck is great.   I can't imagine buying anything other than an HD set if I want an HD bridge in a twin humbucker guitar...

nice clips. the holy diver and vh2 stand out for me, so it kinda answers my question on both counts. holy diver neck for the fender. vh2 now gassing for the evh copy. i might even repaint the evh copy for the black and white debut album look!
