Need new versatile pickups for all maple guitar!!
« on: March 01, 2010, 02:02:29 AM »
Hi Everybody.

I have an all maple body guitar with a floyd that is very thin and very bright sounding. My guitar has a series/parallel switch. In series. I am looking for a dark bridge humbucker pickup that can add lots of big tight bass/low mids/balls/thickness to my guitar. and i am looking for a bridge humbucker that can get this sound.

In parallel. I want the bridge humbucker to have some country spank like this sound.

i am looking for a single coil neck humbucker in series for this sound.

in parallel i like a more bluesy srv/eric johnson vibe.

any suggestions? advice?

you definitely want a holy diver
smooth top, fat and clear midrange
most fluid pickup for leads I ever played
