[QUOTE="Hamner1, post: 82611, member: 2450"] I'm contemplating getting some new pickups. I was a Seymour Duncan fan prior to switching to EMGs. I want to give passives a spin again. I'm shooting for Lynch/Demartini/EVH tone. Thick, punchy, not muddy, screaming 80's metal tone. They will go into an alder body strat/dinky type guitar with a maple fretboard. So with that what are your thoughts on the following: Screamin' Demon - I never owned but it seems like it would be very bright. Maybe too bright? Super V - ??? Demartini - ??? Custom - More output than the screamin demon but maybe not as bright. Fell free to plug any other SD pickups you think would be a good fit. I primarily used '59, JB, Jazz, & Seth humbuckers back in the day. They really didn't get me there. Some thoughts: Less output from the pickup a better thing? Alnico V or II? [/QUOTE]
