Hey guys,
I am in the process of upgrading my SE Zach Myers (Mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fretboard and semi-hollow). I love this guitar, It's great stock and I have it signed by Zach and Brent Smith at this point, but I am having some fun getting the most out of it. I have my tuners sent out to John Mann for the phase 2 locking conversion and I also bought John Mann stoptail bridge and PRS USA nut. Should be an awesome setup! Ill try to review the John Mann stuff later. The next step is picking some pickups that will work well with the guitar.
I have an Egnater Tweaker 15 and the sounds I am trying to achieve would be a range from overdriven blues (Gary Moore The loner), classic hard rock (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Megadeath etc.) and modern rock to hard rock (anywhere from blink 182 to Shinedown and Alter Bridge). So i need a bit of versatility since it is my only electric, but don't need to nail pristine clean or modern metal tones. Having a tight bridge pickup would be a plus though for the occasional palm muting. I personally like seymour duncan though, so I would like to keep it narrowed down to that. I was thinking a SD Custom bridge with a Seth lover or Jazz neck, they apparently both compliment a semi hollow nicely. Would definitely like to hear from anyone with a semi-hollow. This is my first time upgrading pickups on a semi-hollow. Thanks guys.
