I think I will put in the "Nail Bomb" humbucker and "Irish Tour" singles in my Strat, both from Bareknuckles. If I am going to get custom p'ups made, I reckon I'll do it for a much fancier guitar!
I wonder if there's any such shop here in Las Vegas. Las Vegas Nevada, not Las Vegas New Mexico. Or maybe when I go back to L.A. (born and raised, multi-generational in fact) I could find a place easy enough down in Hollywood or something. I wonder how much it might set me back.
I was originally going to put in a Dimebucker, a Lil' 59, and an SB Jr., all by Seymour Duncan. However, I've heard conflicting things: the Dimebucker sounds like crap in an alder guitar (as opposed to mahogony); Lil' 59 isn't good for extremely heavy stuff; other things. I will someday have it all figured out.
Now, aside from the p'ups, what kind of gear/effects/settings?
Edited to add: I should some it up in one sentence. Sufficient low/rhythm but absurdly extreme high/lead, far more abrasive and awful than clean but with just enough clarity for lead guitar (with occasional aluminum slide usage), very very high output, power and volume, basically something that most would find intolerable and hurtful.
