Hi
Pickups, i've been fan of 'seymour duncan' and i'm not biased towards passive pickup ....for Drop C# in my ESP Eclipse II i use Seymour Duncan Black outs (bridge and neck)
and in my Other guitar same Drop C# i'm using Seymour Duncan JB and '59
I find mahogany to be very versatile its great with either active or passive where as my other guitar is made from paulownia (wood) and it hates active pickups
I don't have a fave. I have a superstrat with DiMarzios (Evo Bridge and PAF Pro neck) that I have coil tapped, series parallel that I use for song songs.
I have a JB/ 59 in my EC 400 VF that is awesome for KISS/ AOR etc
I have EMG 81/60 in my Ouija and HET SET in my Truckster that I use for heavier stuff. I have ESP EMG passives in my KH Jr that I want to replace with 81/60 set.
They can all do what the others do (except for the coil tapped DiMarzios) but they do some things better...
I like to get different pick ups in each guitar (although the White IC I am getting has the HetSet ) That way I have a different sound with each geet - even if it is a subtle difference.
