How do leads sound through your 'Pig? Always wanted to know. Everyone says that theyre great for chugging, but as much as I love chugging and hot pups, I gotta know...And are the cleans as good as they say???

Leads are fine, very passable, but I don't think they're going to blow you away.

I just don't think the 'Pig was voiced with lead as the first priority. IMO an alnico magnet just won't give you the tightness that to me really signifies a great lead tone. I'm sure Tim would gladly wind you a 'Pig with ceramic magnets though, that might be just the ticket, although it still won't cut through that well I guess.

The king of the heavy riff the 'Pig most certainly is though, and I have to say that for a high output pup the cleans and overdriven sounds are excellent indeed. This is were the alnico magnets help out a lot I'd imagine.

Overall I think it's a really great allrounder with "chugging" as its specialty, which makes it perfect for my needs, at least.

AWESOME AXE

Q:p

I'm afraid I don't have any recording equipment, but there's plenty of 'Pig and mule clips in the players section as is...

I got the MM/CS set on friday and installed them over the weekend. Man, I sure liked the 'Pig/Mule combo well enough, but I absolutely LOVE these pickups!

The MM reminds me a little of the Gibson 500T that was in the guitar earlier, but MUCH more defined and tight and even more powerfull. Those old 80's thrash riffs have never sounded better, Hetfield and Hanneman would be proud if they could hear it!

The CS in the neck is a lot warmer and smoother then I thought it would be (and that's a good thing), yet has plenty of drive to stay with the MM. A perfect pairing, no wonder Tim recommended them as a set.

Couldn't be happier with both sets of pickups, they do their respective things better then anything I've heard before, highly recommended!

So do you have two explorers or have you taken the pig and mule out?

Hozze · « **Reply #26 on:** May 28, 2006, 05:03:24 PM »

I've got 2, an old Gibson (my first guitar and still probably the best guitar I've ever played, I'll never get rid of her) and the new custom. The 'Pig/Mule are still in the custom where they'll be staying permanently.

Your first guitar was a Gibson Explorer? Lucky guy!
