Darkside Mike Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) hey guys, I new to this board and to guitar building, so I'd like some help in with pickup selection. I put a seymour duncan sreamin demon in my bridge position of my washburn, but I was wondering what would match nicely for the neck? This guitar is mainly used for metal and heavy rock. any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance, great forum! see ya, Mike Edited April 16, 2005 by Darkside Mike Quote
blackburncustomguitars Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 A good match would probably be the ceramic Gibson 496r. Very musical, yet LOUD!

User01 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 sd jb/jazz set ideal for metal and hard rock with amazing cleans Quote
frank falbo Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 The Duncan Full Shred neck pickup is great for shred/metal and it also does blues very well. I have a chrome covered one in a hardtail guitar that I use for blues and it's great. The output would be a good match, and visually it has the hex poles like the neck side coil on the Screamin Demon. If you've heard the FS bridge, you can forget everything you heard. The neck model is a completely different beast. I even had a matching set in a guitar once and I didn't like them together. The FS neck could've had a much different life if it only had a different name. It could've been marketed as a hot blues neck pickup equally as well. Quote
Darkside Mike Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Posted April 17, 2005 I was kinda thinking about a sd dimebucker, would this be a bad idea? I find that my sd screamin demon has great cleans anyway so I could just go for full out metal pickup in the neck, keep in mind i'm extremely new to all this stuff and I have no idea what i'm doing so feel free to put me in my place Quote
thedoctor Posted April 17, 2005 Report Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) I think Frank has it. The Full Shred. Don't let the monicker lead you astray. It is also a VERY good, high-output blues PU. Nice compliment to your other PU also. Blackie, I don't mind sounding uninformed. WHERE do you get Gibson 496s without selling the farm? Edited April 17, 2005 by thedoctor Quote
