Ok guys I finally found out the my mystery wooded Carvin DC200 (superstrat with an original floyd rose) has a mahogany body and mahogany neck. With the ebony fretboard needless to say it's a dark guitar! (it's all black too :twisted: ) Which pickup would cut through this slab of mahogany better and would also be fitted for a modern heavy/thrash sound ala Metallica's Black Album? I'm leaning towards the Ceramic Pig right now but will it be too much for shredding/soloing? I'm going with a Cold Sweat neck but I don't want soloing on the bridge to be so bassy it's out of control. And then the only thing about the Miracle Man I'm not sold on is there is a lack of mids, I'd rather have a more balanced pickup and take the mids out on my EQ or amp. Both I'm sure will do that job. Convince me either way guys!

Ceramic pig, i just got one installed in a huge slab of mahogany for the Metallica Black album/Justice and general thrash kinda sound and it rules!

that's what I'm leaning towards. Have you been able to shred on it yet?

I'm not much of a shredder, not because i don't like it but because i suck at it, but it sounds great, huge power and harmonics, great chuggin riffs.

Yah Im getting a ceramic pig in my all mahogany plank aswell. And mine has a rosewood board too so its even darker. If you realy want som,ething to off-set the 'dark' tho Id say go with a miracle man since Pigs are enormously bassy by nature. But im shure Il know more once I actualy get mine.
EDIT; Im a bit of a shredder so I can probably comment on that too once I have it.

I'd go with a non-Custom Warpig I think ;)

I'm tyring to fit a Miracle Man in my PRS at the moment. Mahogany body and neck with a Brazillian Rosewood fretboard. Once it's fitted correctly i'll post on here.
