Makes sense. I don't think either will become collector's pieces (at least not for another 50 year), so at the end of the day, I don't think it'll matter very much.

I tried a seymour duncan custom (supposed to be similar to PRS Tremonti treble) and it was OK for higher gain stuff, but maybe a bit too much gain. I like Tremonti's tone when I listen to it, it jsut doesn't translate to my playing as well. I also tried a duncan custom 5 (same pickup but with an...
