For a fuitar like this I would recommend the alnico version of the Failbomb fumbucker.

I am laughing way too hard at this....xD The failbomb is brilliant.

Sides that, yeah, it sounds like a reasonable recommendation to me.

[ericsabbath]

how about a miracle fan?

[Dave Sloven]

Classic ...

I would recommend the alnico nailbomb too

[Slartibartfarst42]

I wouldn't go for the A-Bomb as I think it's way too aggressive for what is needed here. The Rebel Yell might be a better bet here but the Cold Sweat and Holydiver might also be excellent choices.

[Telerocker]

I suggest the Rebel Gel too.

Indeed. Good thoughts as usual. Which would be suited would largely depend on the construction style in question though, so the body type. More about that could help narrow things down.

I'm guessing this is a Strat style guitar(vint trem)?

If so then a Holydiver will give you plenty of output and great harmonic response, especially with a mahogany body.

A rare and welcome sight I must say.

I do agree (how can I not) seeing the wood combo and the amount of frets, etc. Really though, how could I muss the vintage trem thing...shame on me.

The HD really ticks all the boxes then.  The boss knows his stuff and the HD is a brilliant one.

Preaching to the choir right now, IŽll just leave.

for those specs, I'd go with the Rebel Yell.

[Telerocker]

The Diver will please for sure, I tought with a mahogany body and the OP's preferences, the RY might be the best choice.

Hi Tim, exactily the guitar is chapman ML1, my biggest concern is the ebony fingerboard.

Right now i have a seymour duncan custom Sh5, in the bridge and i dont now if is from the fingerboard wood or from the pickups the guitar as a lot of highs, and very little bottom end.

i would like a pickup that works very well in ebony fingerboard and in a mahogany body.

Thanks a lot for your answers guys, and jokers

The ebony board will certainly contribute some brightness but so too the bolt on neck and 25.5" scale length. The SH5 is ceramic powered and will sound bright too so an alnico powered humbucker like the Holydiver will definitely add more depth and also some punch in the mids.

I had an alder strat with a maple neck/board.  it always seemed a bit on the dull side.  I modded the fool out of that guitar over the years, which included some pretty bright pickups.  when I felt I'd punished the alder body too much, I replaced with with a licensed Fender body from warmoth made of poplar... chosen as something that's a little brighter than alder, but not as bright as maple.  suddenly it was a really bright guitar and the brighter pickups became brittle and crispy....especailly with the titanium saddles (one of the many mods!  lol!).  I put a set of alnico Nailbombs in that guitar and it balanced out to give me exactly what I want.

but.....like some have already said...the NBs might be too agressive for what you're wanting.
