Sorry everyone
I want to use the humbuckera pickup
I want the tight and punch , aggressive sound!
for the walnut body guitar.

The alder body guitar that I want the more
Mid and clean
sound.

Tight punch and aggressive = Painkiller

Mid and clean and good for alder guitars = Holydiver

But thats a pretty loose recomendation lol. I've never had a walnut guitar so what does it sound acoustically? Bright? Dark and thick? And also what kind of music do you like to play with them? You'll get a 10x better pickup recomendation =D

Personally, I think my walnut guitar sound
That like the mahogany, but harder than mahogany.
More bright than them.
I use the guitar to play metalcore,even hard rock.
However,Walnut guitar had very nice sound to play metal or rock.
That is my personal advance.

Np guy :P

But yea I'd definetly take a look at the Aftermath as well. And the Nailbomb if you want an organic but aggressive sound.

My 2 cents :P

I have never played a walnut guitar, but from warmoth's wood option site it seems like a bright wood and with a maple neck and pau ferro board the Painkiller is propably too bright. I guess it also depends on wether the guitar is massively downtuned or not. I think the Nailbomb would be better than the Painkiller in this guitar. Maybe a ceramic Warpig...

For the alder guitar a Holy Diver could very well work. If you wan't something less hot and more PAF like the Mule or Abraxas would be my recommendations.
