Pickup specs/sizing and recommendation question
« on: November 12, 2014, 01:24:28 PM »
Hello, bare knucklers- I have a Charvel Desolation DS-1 and I like my SD blackouts, but I certainly like the sound of passive humbuckers also.  Any recommendations for a bare knuckle set?  I play mostly hard rock to metal.  I've owned a painkiller and cold sweat in a LP knockoff, but I got rid of it.  Those pickups wouldn't fit in my charvel. 

I need an indication of the sizing specs as well for the DS-1.  Thanks, all.

miracle man bridge/cold sweat neck tends to be a winner set for most rock/metal applications, specially for a mahog/maple guitar
