EMGs H series pickups aren't active pickups... they're passive. But a lot of people seem to like the DiMarzio pickups... I myself haven't played many... I like Seymour Duncans JB/59 set. They're pretty versatile. It all depends on what music youlike to play... most likely metal if you bought an LTD.

I know that the HZs arent active but i have a jackson that has 81s. they are great but i want something different than i already have.

I know I say it evrytime this topic comes up...but there is no better Pickup than a Breknucke...any Bare Knuckle is just amazing...I have a nailbomb in my Les Paul and it rocks so hard...For what you play, I would suggest you try a Warpig or Emerald in the neck slot and a Nailbomb or perhaps a Miracle Man (very hot the miarcle man).

DiMarzio EVOLUTION Neck works fine in bridge position. My friend use it on two guitars - Ibanez FGM(mahogany body) and some Carvin...

yo guy's,

it's been a while, but here I'm again....

say, i have a question: do all humbuckers have the same size? I want to change my Epiphone pick-ups for PRS tremonti's. Is that possible?

most humbuckers will fit in other humbucker slots, no problem. :cool:
