from what I remember, the Duncan Custom, Custom is close to the Women and Children First recording. For the first 2 VH recordings, I "beleive" Eddie used an Ibanez Destroyer with a Super Distortion along with the Frankie guitar with the infamous broken Gibson PAF (one coil was reported not working 100%, which gave it a bright razor cutting tone). We may never know what the really answer is. A lot of manufacturers claim to have this pickup but when you listien closely, it's not even close. Only one person knows and that's Eddie and he is too busy designing $3,000 signature guitars and amplifiers and can't remember that far back.
