I think for what you're after the Nailbomb would be a better choice than a VHII-the VHII is a great pickup but much lower in gain than a Nailbomb.Also, as we've heard in the players room, they do seem to sit really well in Strats.
Another option is the Miracle Man-it'll do the Racer X/Gilbert tone no trouble and equally the Slayer............it's all down to how much gain you dial in at the amp. For pinch harmonics it's a demon :twisted:
