I think I would like to put in some Dimarzio pickups, and I was thinking of the Evolution, the X2N, the Super Distortion or maybe the Super 3. I like a tight, screaming tone. What would you recommend for the bridge? what about for the neck and middle (single-sized humbucker) positions? I was thinking of maybe the Seymour-Duncan Hot Rails for the middle. Any suggestions, or advice from any of you? Thanks, Avenite You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Or maybe the PAF Pro? Super 2? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

As for the Tone Zone, I don't know of any guitars with it I can try. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I did try a Xiphos with the D-Activators, those were pretty nice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
