Hey guys,
my number one guitar for a long time has been an all mahogany superstrat with ebony fretboard. I've always used a BKP Painkiller in this particular guitar, and I've never found such a perfect combination. I love the aggression, clarity and the huge amount of mids. No I've bought an ESP M-II neck thru with maple neck, alder wings and ebony fretboard. Which pickup in your opinion would get the closest results to mahogany/Painkiller combo? I've got a Warpig in one ash-bodied guitar, and I'm not as satisfied with that one. Also, based on clips I'm pretty sure i wouldn't like the aftermath. I'm more in favor of an "old school" kind of tone. Maybe Holy Diver, although I'm not sure about tightness/articulation with that one? By the way, I tune to C#. And yep, you guessed it, I play metal.
