The Pickup Place / On the search for Optimal pickup combo for Low-Tuned Guitars
« on: October 12, 2020, 02:56:13 PM »
Hi guys,
The band I recently joined plays in a very unusual 7-string tuning. It's 1 1/2 steps down, double dropped.
This translates to: C#, G#, E, B, F#, B, E. The lowest string is a whopping .074.
I bought a wonderful JP-70 guitar to handle this hefty tuning and sounds, however the stock pickups can only go so far.
I am considering many options, chief among them being: D-Activator 7 in the Bridge / Liquifire 7 in the Neck.
All my other guitars are DiMarzio-equipped MM guitars, I know how to dial in a tone with that combo.
I have checked out the competition and decided that it's not really my thing.
Any opinions on the D-A 7 Bridge and Liquifire 7 Neck combination?
Am I wrong to think that those two will handle the tuning well?
Any thoughts and opinions welcome.
Thank you,
Bo
