    Need some advice on a pickups for my ESP Kami style please. I am finding it too bright with the screaming demon in, would a TB-4 JB or and TB-6 distortion sound less bright and give more output. At the moment I am leaning towards the distortion with a coolrails in the neck.

    Duncan Distortion all the way, if you're looking to keep that 80's Lynch tone going... I have one in one of my ash-bodied axes and it kills. I've found that the Demon's are way too bright as well.

          Yes keeping it now, was looking at les pauls but people expect the same money for them second hand as when they were new. Makes you laugh.

            Definately, the m1 in my avatar I switched over to duncan distortion and its amazing, great advice as always 1point8t. It just screams for leads and still is super full for chugging, perfect pu for maple

              Yea... they've never done it for me. An LP Custom is one thing, but that's Suhr money right there and I'd definitely rather have a Suhr.

                  Just seen some clips on you tube, The super v sounds really good. Cant find any listed for sale though.
