So what would you guys put in an Esquire for hard rock and blues and can handle having a lot of high gain thrown at it.
Preferably would prefer a true single coil, quite like the sound of some of the bare knuckle range like the black guard flat 50 and 52, yardbird, brown sugar I've got a piledriver in my tele and although it can handle a lot of gain I do think it can sound a little thin and to compressed.
I'm not against things like the lil 59 and tele pearly gate, but if I went that route I think maybe a BG1400 as I have heard they are good for esquires.
So a pup that can handle lots of gain when needed, not to compressed more open and warm sounding and still has some twang and honk when cleaned up.
Gunna go with Eldred wiring.
