Hey all, looking for recommendations for new pickups in my core custom 22 - decided the Dragon II pickups were a little too bright and sterile for my tastes.
This guitar is basically going to be my traveling beater, so I would love for it to be as versatile as possible - blues, rock, and hard rock are a must, but would like it to not be too loose/boomy for a decent tight metal sound. Will be playing it through plugins on my laptop if that makes any difference. I have a 594 DC with the wonderful 58/15LT pickups, but they don't cover high-gain as well as I'd like. I also have a 35th anniversary custom 24 with the 85/15 pickups which I like for their versatility and am heavily considering.
That said, I'm sort of split between the 85/15 and 57/08 pickups - i know the 85/15 will do the job, but I do already have a guitar that has them. Feels a bit redundant and I've heard good things about the 57/08. Would also be open to considering others that the PTC carries.
