pickups recommendation for death metal and melodic death metal
« on: October 25, 2024, 01:30:09 PM »
so i have 3 guitars
an e-ii eclipse i mainly use for carcass, because bill steer uses singlecuts.
and a jackson kelly i like to use for at the gates mainly and brandon ellis stuff.
and my prs custom 24 (this one was exclusive to a local store i belive because i never seen an hardtail custom 24 in other places) i like to use for in flames.

The short answer is whichever pickups you like best in your guitars  :grin:

There is no one answer, everyone has different tastes and every guitar is different. A more helpful starting point is: what are you hoping to achieve by changing the pickups in each of these guitars? You say you like to use each guitar for certain applications, so do they even need the pickups changing? What's wrong with how they're currently performing those applications? Otherwise you're just going blindly into a rabbit hole.

Changing pickups for the sake of it is fun, don't get me wrong, but at that point you don't need anyone else's input than your own as you're just experimenting. That you've asked the question suggests you're after something specific rather than experimentation.
