I have a PAF Pro in the neck and a Super Distortion in the bridge of my 2009 Schecter Hellraiser, and I was wondering what everyone else thought about the pickups if you've played them or have them :)

emgs sound like crap, and are for death metal wannabes and people who don't know tone. Im not personally a fan of the dimarzio sound myself, but they do sound good. Im just looking for a different sound.


E: Petrucci gets amazing tone out of his dimarzios

Why do you think I bought them? :) They sounded amazing and they do sound amazing in my guitar.

I had an EMG81TW/EMG89 set in this Schecter when I bought it stock, and they sounded like SHIT so I had to replace them. The fact that I have a battery compartment and passive pickups --> free guitar pick storage imo

That's because you're fucking unable to get good tone out of it.

Maybe if you'd cut down the fucking bullshit about EMGs and actually fucking use them properly, you'll see that they can be awesome.

On thread: I played DiMarzios with my bro's Ibanez, PAF/Air norton I think, they sounded incredible. I was actually involved in a dilemma between them or SD for my ESP, but wouldn't be arsed to switch from active -> passive so I kept my EMGs.

Anyways, I really like them :D

i realize they come stock on ESP guitars, but EMG pickups have always disappointed me. I don't have much experience with dimarzios, unfortunately, but I can say that through my amp duncans blow away EMGs.

Super Distortion is a great pickup, but I use the X2N. I have been considering the Tone Zone as a neck pickup, any thoughts on that one?
