So i'm thinking now, i have the strat, that one sounds vintage a single-coily, the cabaret (my new LP-like model) will sound vintage and warm too, bareknuckle on the bridge and SD alnico pro II on the neck, so should i make the flying V also vintage? Maybe not right?, i'm thinking i might turn the V into a heavy monster, but i don't know much about high output or agressive sounding pickups, what do you guys recommend?

Those Barenuckles pickups sound dirtier and awesome from what i've heard, but never tried them myself. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
