Debating between Holy Divers and Rebel Yells bridge pick ups

Man, that is a fantastic setup mantrasky! Love that white on black layout too.

I can't wait to put my HD into my Suhr, the hard part is waiting 2 weeks til I get my hands on them.

Johnny I did the same to my Suhr's:

KILLER top wow

What did you put in those?

[mantrasky]

Johnny, in both guitars have "Holy Divers" the Bengal color guitar sounds the best, the Fire Burst I'm thinking of a better fit, both guitars originally had the Doug Aldrich pickups which sounded horrible very "Fuzzy" like and the neck pups always pushed amps to distort? And this is in Clean mode. So both Suhr's now have the DSV+ in the neck and the "Flecher/Landau" Single Coils great sounding.

Man, I really can't wait to get my HDs!

On top of all the complements other posters have stated above, if you have them in both Suhrs, they must really be *that* good.

GAhhhh the wait is killing me hahaha

Johnny I did the same to my Suhr's:

These have got to be two of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen!

[mantrasky]

Slartibartfarst42 thank you for the compliment! and yes they are beautiful but I'll tell you after owning so many guitars (around 500+) looks don't always make for a great sounding guitar.

I must really like yellow/orange quilted guitars because I love that Anderson.

Oh my god  gorgeous collection man!

Do they all have BKPs?

How does the PRS 5 way work with the BKP? I heard the magnet has to be reversed or something?

[mantrasky]

Hi Johnny, not all of the guitars have BKP. The PRS 5-way reacts the same with BKP just the color code is different. I try to find the best pickup for each guitar, my preference is the Charvel over most or my Strat, I'm not much of a LP player so it's doesn't get played very much, I use that for recording if I need that type of tone. Beautiful looking guitars don't often mean "The greatest tone!" although the Anderson & Suhr have the "Best" Fretwork from the factory! (all of my guitars have great fretwork though) They have a particular tone but I find my Charvel to be more "Raw" sounding and with the Holy Diver set and unfinished neck sounds amazing live, surpassing my boutique guitars. Out of the guitars I've shown the Ibanez has the cheapest components and the stock Dimarzio pups (Tone Zone & PAF Pro+) I just don't feel it's worth upgrading. Thank you for the compliment \../

My HD is finally here!

Took about 3 weeks from time of order to delivery to USA. Customer service was excellent as were you fine gentlemen from the forum in suggesting the pick up. (Thanks again!)

Customer service advised me they didn't have parchment as an open coil, so I went with cream. I was going to go with white but I felt it would clash too bright against my parchment pickguard and champagne colored body.

I had some spare single coil covers which I thought was cream (last pic),  but I think it's "aged white" (so many names of the same shade lol).  Keeping everything parchment would have been ideal, but I think the cream would fit better than white (which is pretty bright).

Single coil covers might take a while since they're coming from Bare Knuckle along with the Rebel Yells I ordered; but I'm gonna go ahead and install the HD this weekend.

Can't wait!
