Pickups for my strat.

Okay then.

I am almost sure I am gonna go for the Trilogy Suites then :)

I am gonna think abit though, but I already have a HS_3 in the neck of my charvel, how is the TS versus the YJM/HS3 when dirty? Is it fatter or?

And I dont think I got a answer on, is it like HS-3? You know alot of resistance, but almost no output volt?

Just re read some of the posts, and yup once the cash is ready its Trilogy Suite time :)

But lets just for fun say I wanna put a bridge humbucker in it.

A thing that is quite natural in the sound, not too compressed for stuff like Van Halen (VH1 -> 1984) and Judas Priest (British steel era), Whitesnake (1987), Skid Row (like the record, with the song Youth Gone Wild) and Maiden (Beast era)
Would that be the VHII for that? And the singles would be TS unless other recommended.

Thanks alot :)

Okay I'll think about it :)

Whats the difference between Cold Sweat, VHII and DiMarzio Virtual Hot PAF for instance?

And btw I am sorry about my confusion with the DiMarzios, its just you know, Yngwie uses them so they must be the best, but I am gonna give these a shot instead. :)

Well, Yngwie probably hasn't played BKs yet, so more's the pity for him!

VHII: Hot PAF, very tight, cleans up nice, searing lead tone
Cold Sweat: A bit more drive, very similar to the classic DiMarzio tone from the 70s; very dynamic for a ceramic pickup, great sustain, ridiculous midrange

Can't comment on any newer DMZs.

Hehe okay mate.

Well I guess those look awesome both of them.

I just dont know, I already have a superstrat, should I make the regular strat into H-S-S too.

Hard decision :S what do you think mate?
