While I love the overall sound ov Avenged, I definitely like Syn's tone much more than zacky's, especially after seeing them live a few weeks ago. I had looked at his schecter set, but the set is close to $300 and that's a bit much for me to spend without knowing if it will compliment my own playing style.

The Pickup Place / Pickups for Schecter c-1

« on: February 05, 2018, 01:44:23 PM »

I'm looking to replace the pickups in my Schecter Blackjack ATX C-1. Currently I have a seymour duncan full shred in the bridge and a jazz in the neck, going through a peavey 6505+. I don't necessarily dislike the tone of the full shred, but I find it doesn't cut through the mix as well as I would like and the distorted tone isn't as heavy as Im looking for. Ive also played the duncan custom quite frequently and really like its tone, but find the highs a bit shrill.

In the past I've looked at Duncans fairly exclusively, so I don't know much about dimarzio pickups. The only experience I've had is the pickups in the musicman axis and the tone zone, the latter of which I didn't get along with for some reason.

Im a big fan of the guitar tones of Slash and Avenged sevenfold (yes I know they both play duncans, I just wanna keep my options open). The guitar is a mahogany body and neck with an ebony fretboard. Im looking for a pickup wet that can handle high gain hard rock and metal, but can also clean up fairly well. Any suggestions are appreciated.
