Hey all. I love my new to me 09 Korina McCarty (stock McCarty PUs) but after a few months and playing my buddy's Cu24 with 85/15's I feel like I need to try something new in the bridge. I just was smitten with his tone and more so the ability to cover lots of ground with power and clarity, and I know I might be trying too hard with this (I really just need a 2nd guitar, but not it the cards any time soon) so would like to make it a little more versatile. Would like to cover ground anywhere from 311 to Creed, Zeppelin to Incubus, Foo Fighters to Slash solos and into the metal zone. I hear the newer PRS pickups are outstanding and was thinking 57/08, 59/09, or \m/ - thoughts on the best match for me? I feel like to combo of Korina and stoptail may influence things. For reference I used to have a Seymour Duncan Distortion (ceramic) in my Fat Strat that I loved that really gives you that amazing PRS-like drop D power chord sustain and palm muting tight chunk but also killed Slash solos and cleaned up nice - it covered all the tones I mentioned. I also will replace the neck at some point but mostly play the bridge PU.
