I am looking for a pickup to put in the bridge pickup of my Gibson Les Paul Standard R60. The guitar will be tuned to drop b ( B F# B E G# C# ) and I will be using 13-62 gauge strings.
I will be playing original modern hard rock that borders slightly on the metal side. I would like a pickup that is punchy, clear, articulate, and is crunchy enough to push my amp hard but remain focused under the heavy down tune. I want big chords to ring true and palm muted open chugs to be punishing. My amp is a 100 watt Friedman Naked amp with Scumback oversized 4x12 cab.
I currently use a rebel yell for standard tuning and I love it, I've also used a holy diver with good results but I find it too dark for a Les Paul Standard.
Any input would be appreciated, Thanks
