Hey guys. I need to build a guitar to play metalcore with really soon. So I decided to use my trusty RG370dx (with 550 neck).
At first I was gonna go with EMG because they were well known. Then I saw an ad for SD blackouts in a magazine and did lots of research on them. After learning more about them, I had my heart set on them. Then I turned a few pages in my mag and saw the D activator ad. Did the same thing. Now I'm torn between the two.
The thing that attracts me most about the blackouts is that it comes in a set all ready to be installed. And what attracts me to the D activator is that it doesn't need a battery, and I personally like the way traditional humbuckers look like.
I'm gonna be using a H-H pickguard so I can delete the middle single coil. The guitar is tuned to Drop C. I want to use this guitar for metal and sound as good and heavier than my ESP. I have an ESP custom shop with a JB in the bridge and hot rail in the neck if that helps
Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this.
Thanks guys.
