I have only the Holydiver but I think the Miracle Man would suit me best for classic Heavy Metal up to Thrash/Death Metal and some hard rock. Cold Sweat in the neck. Superstrat made of korina and the Fryette Deliverance for an amp. Tight gear...

I'm not at all sure anyone would want to buy my "signature" BKP....  :lol:

Good question, nevertheless!

I don't think I've necessarily found the perfect set yet, but my favourite so far is the Cold Sweat set in (as Feline mentioned) an all-mahogany guitar.  Which surprised me a bit, as they're (relatively) high-output and modern sounding.  I would've expected something more vintage to float my boat.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

+1 - I have a set in my PRS Standard. Probably part due to the playability of the guitar, but can get a great range of usuable sounds from it. Also like the first BKP I bought on ebay which was an uncovered Crawler which is in an Ibanez EDR470 - this  sounds better than the Crawler set I had in my Les Paul (which now has Mules). Also love my Blackguard Flat 50 set.

The Abraxas in my Les Paul was an awesome tone, I'd be happy with that for pretty much anything in the blues/rock style right up to doom/stoner/sludge styles.

I'm loving my Tele alot at the minute, but sadly no BKPs in that one, yet.

Tricky.

Currently with Fallen Poets my signature sound is very much overdriven Blackguard Flat 50s into my Egnater Renegade.

However, as soon as I join/form my Black Sabbath tribute band it'll be SG & Mules through my Orange!!!

Nice question. I think it would have to VHII bridge mothers milk mid and neck  in  my freline dinky. Though yardbirds in a maple neck alder body tele is a pretty close 2nd.

I think it'd have to be the Rebel Yell bridge (with VHII neck if we're choosing a full set here). I love lots of the range to bits, but the RY has everything I want in the most balanced proportions - clear, rich, smooth, tight, punchy and dynamic.

I would love to have the RY's in my next guitar. Most of the clips are amazing.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.
