I'm getting a new guitar and I'm currently in a struggle about which bridge pickup I should get. I'm looking for Dave Martone/Matthias Eklund/Vai/Satriani/Becker sound but also I want to get Eklund's screaming high harmonics. Basically a bright, sharp pickup with high output. I already have a DiMarzio Bridge Evolution (designed for Vai) and I can say I'm thrilled with it's tone but I want to go even further plus exploring new pickups. I'm open for all sugestions!

If you have a good (high quality passive, high gain p'up), you can squeeze more overall output from it by installing 1-2k pots.

a pot = electronic component (the tone button) Open the back of your geetar... unsolder the pot, then put another one with another value... usualy fenders have 250omhs , gibson 500ohms (0.5kohms) so head up to radio shack or another store and get a few different values to experiment. the higher the value is, the brighter it,ll sound Btw, if you want very trembly sound, use the bridge pickup
