I've just acquired a beautiful 1978 LPC that could do with some fattening up (maple neck and cap plus ebony fretboard equals brightness!) - I play classic to hard rock and tend to go for a nice thick mid-gain crunch most of the time and boost with pedals for solos, think later Lizzy stuff, middle Weezer stuff, and a bit of Aldrich/Moore for luck. I'd be looking at upwards of 12k resistance for a ballpark measurement!
Would the Holy Diver be the ticket? I had an Emerald in it for a while but it was a bit too bright, even though it sounded superb. I'm currently running a Duncan SH11 Custom Custom which is almost perfect, but I could really do with a bit more clarity and fatness in the tone!
Thanks!
