I am heavily torn between the Rebel Yell, Miracle Man, and Holy Diver for the bridge position of my new axe. The guitar that it will be going into is a bright guitar: Alder body w/thick Maple Top; Maple neck/fretboard; bolt-on.
My question is out of the three pickups, which has the most prevalent harmonic overtones? That is probably going to be the most important factor when I am choosing.
Also, can someone explain how certain pickups bring out the harmonic overtones better than others? I don't know much about the topic, but I assume that compression has something to do with it? I imagine that harmonic overtones are more prevalent in "open" sounding pickups?
Either way, I have some time to mull over the options since I will probably pull the trigger and get something right around the holidays.
Thx in advance!
