QUOTE (kjutte @ Jul 26 2007, 02:34 PM)  Alright, so I have a bridge humbucker, middle singlecoil and a neck humbucker. I thought about a dimarzio tonezone or whatever it's called for bridge, but I don't know what I should use for middle and neck. I love to play clean, gilmourstyle, by example. I also love deep gorgeous shreds, but I dunno what neckpickup would fit that style the best. tips please, experienced players! The neck pickup on the Jem is its best attribute - a DiMarzio Evolution. It has a lot of definition and sparkle, but also a lot of depth to it. Great for blues, heavy shred, and sparlking glean sounds. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

The hard part is that you never know for sure until after it's done
 I'm guessing PAF in neck and Chopper or AirNorton in mid. That would be one hot guitar. Or for a real H-S-H just leave the current single coil sitting. -------------------- My bands homepage

I meant that both the pu's I mentioned are (if I'm not wrong) hum canceling singel coils, i.e coils winded in pairs infact giving a humbucker pickup but in a single coil format. -------------------- My bands homepage

Uhm, I didn't know what a Steve's special was but from the looks of it it's a bridge pu. It's output is higher than what you choose to put in the bridge so I'm not so sure about that match. It's unconventional. Maybe; Tonezone Chopper PAFPro or Steve's Chopper PAFPro would work. -------------------- My bands homepage

If you have enough cash to throw around...you might want to check out "www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk" They can help you out with what you want in a pickup. I bought a set of Black Dogs and it nails what I'm after, a Jimmy Pagish tone, but has also got some great cleans and if I wanted to, add a load of gain to get some metal chops out...they aren't cheap, but they're the best pickups IMO.
