[QUOTE="speedemon, post: 69202, member: 2478"] Man, I tried a lot of pickups, and it became a joke among my friends and repairman! Seymour Duncan - Custom Custom, Screamin' Demon, Invader, Distortion, Pearly Gates DiMarzio - Air Norton, X2N. Gibson - 500T, 57 Classic Jackson - J80, J90C They have been in varying guitars (which does make a difference!) The X2N and Invader are metal only, and a good choice if you have a cheap guitar you are trying to upgrade. I prefer the X2N. The Air Norton is a good neck pickup, Pearly Gates a good pickup (Billy Gibbons thinks so too!). The Custom Custom was not good for metal in my Explorer. The Screamin' Demon was poor in my Charvel Model 6 (basswood!) only the active J90C did metal well. I was using the Gibson 500T until my friend turned me on to the 57 classic. It rocks and does metal, got em in my Mockingbird, Explorer, Dean Z 79. New to single coils. The standard MIM pickups are ok for beginners, the Fender Vintage Noiseless should be Vintage Toneless, and the regular USA standard set works great, but I like the Highway 1 set the best of all the single coils I have played. Experiment and have fun! [/QUOTE]
