Pickup suggestions pls! *Revised*
« on: June 22, 2005, 06:28:48 PM »
I'm waiting for a buyer to pull the trigger on the Seymour Duncan pickups I'm blowing out at a too-good-to-pass-up price, and then I will be ordering what will be my 4th, 5th, and 6th BK pups!!!

A bit about the guitar this will be going into:
This is another project guitar I'm working on. The body is a solid alder H-S-S Wayne Rock Legend body. The neck will be a maple Gajic Custom neck with ebony fingerboard.



So, what say you? Any and all suggestions welcome!!

Acutally, colour-wise I'm thinking of something a bit more ... radical, shall we say ;)

Even though it's not listed in the HSS sets, I'm going to say the Warpig with 2 Trilogy pu's. :twisted:

the cold sweat is in the final stages of testing. How about the Holy diver? its wound with 43 gauge plain enamel, but has a ceramic magnet.
how about a burnt chrome cover.....?

Hmmm, nice suggestions.

Steve: every post mentioning the Holy Diver has been met with Tim saying it'll be too bright. Is it voiced to go into an alder body?

I'd go with a Cold Sweat over teh Diver in a alder guitar, especially with a maple/ebony neck

How about the Emerald - it's in between the VH2 and Nailbomb, lots of harmonics and plenty of grunt?

TO-

Get the Holy Diver- if it's really what its named for shouldn't it work in an Alder guitar? + looks like i'm gonna be getting one for an alder guitar pretty soon and I can't wait.

Is it possible to order pickups from BKP in colors other then black, white and zebra?

at the moment we can only offer pickups in those colours. We will ask our supplier if he can get any different coloured bobbins. In about a month our bobbin tool will be finished, so we can offer different ones then!
