Thanks guys!
It seems our minds are all on the same track pretty much.
Holydiver bridge and Emerald neck is a tried and tested combination and will sit very well in an RG
I already have a HD and MM bridges in my RG's so I wish to avoid those.

This is sure as heck worth looking at. My main question would be how the Crawler neck and EM neck compare in terms of aggression. I know the EM is less rounded and smooth, but then again in its way the Crawler is rather leading in that department.
In case you have not had it IŽd throw in both the HD neck and even perhaps an MQ neck. Slarti did a wonderful description of the HD neck. And gathering from that the MQ neck is roughly a cross over between that and a SC with balls.
IŽd recommend a listen on those two.
I hadn't considered the HD tho! Good shout.
I'm not worried about how the CR and Em necks compare really. I do know i want to step away from the fatness.
I am using the guitar for Black label society and Extreme, so the Mm is the obvious choice but I don't want to repeat any BKP's. I want to experience them all.
I am not too familiar with BLS (in fact I purchased one CD and then noticed that I must have mistaken them for Pride and Glory). The Extreme tone points to the Cold Sweat bridge. I must say though that the CS bridge can be very bright in some guitars and coming from the Abraxas bridge, the CS will definitely have more cut in the high end, even though I did not compare them in the same guitar.
From comparisons of the Holydiver bridge and Abraxas bridge in the same guitar I feel that there will not be too much of a difference, other than the HD having a bit more output and compression.

BLS really took me by surprise!
Between the albums Blessed Hellride and Hangover Music vol VI there's a massive variety and in my opinion not a bad song on either.
The Rg in question is the warmest of all the ones I own plus Cris Broderick used one in an Rg so it's gotta be good enough fer moi.

Do you find Abraxas bridge and HD bridge similar sounding?
Holy divers feel more compressed than Abraxas which is a little less aggressive but with more sparkly over tones.
Nuno and Zakk both use Ceramic Pups.
Cold Sweat is arguably BKP's best shout for Nuno and in a les Paul a cold sweat will get you close BLS but in a super start i'd definitely say miracle man.
My thoughts too but I want to try a new BKP too :D
Thanks guys!!
