Now.. Now stay with here, okay!? Don't laugh, please.
Okay, the thing is I have a semi-old Squier Stagemaster (HSS'ed, floyd'ed, reverse headed) guitar that I am quite fond of.
I have already thrown an A-pig in the bridge position and that works beautifully. However, since I am considering actually using this as a live guitar*, I might upgrade the single coils just for the hell of it.
I'm sort of thinking Sinners, in this department, since it is a metal guitar. The main thing is just that they need to sound really nice for cleans and stuff, and maybe do distorted lead fairly well.
All things aside, I have heard that having an absurdly high output pickup (which we can quite safely say the piggie is) in the same guitar as other pickups with significantly less output (which we can safely say stock Squier singles are) will somehow "drain the juice" from the highpowered pickup. Is there any truth to this, or is it an old wive's tale?
*Seriously, the prospect of seeing other metal guitarists' faces knot up in wtf-ness at my shows when I show up with a hideous old Squier, is just too good to pass up!
