This gorgeous US Hamer has been a bit my problem child since I had it (it's been my main/only guitar for about 10 years).
As the guitar ( all Mahogany, Floyd Rose ) is a bit dull, I need a bridge pickup to add punch and complexity.
I've been through Duncan JB, EMG81 and the bridge pickup of my MM Axis/EVH on this guitar and they all don't do it for me.
I want the Hamer to become my HEAVY GUITAR.
Please help me chose as I haven't got lots of experience with heavy sounds. I like Randy Rhoads, Hetfield etc., would be nice if it would also split well/do cleans, but focus is on a complex, punchy, defined, high output heavy tone.
Please don't recommend EMGs, as I had them and they are boring!
The bridge pickup I'm going to chose will co-exist with a VanZandt HotPAF in the neck. I like to have a weaker neck pickup.
What to go for?
