I mean, if you want something close to the EMG's, you can't go wrong with the Miracle Man. Gimme some more info...styles, tones, players, etc.. What do you want from the pickup?

Thanks man, I play in drop C, my style is in between technical death and some doom and progmetal, some bands can define the sound: devildriver, in flames, soilwork, dark tranquillity, children of bodom, evergrey. I use 10-52 strings in this piece.

These four at least usually get a Miracle Man recomendation. I've been using them in an Epi SG for a while and it does a pretty good In Flames and Soilwork.

If the guitar sounds pretty dark, maybe a Painkiller, Aftermath or Cold Sweat would be the way to go, but I've never used them, so I'd say Miracle Man 'til someone else can chime in.
