So being an active pickup guys I decided to check out the EMG Het set recently and dropped it into my Luxxtone blackout which is an alder body, maple neck and ebony fingerboard with a floyd rose.
While I love the neck pickup I'm pretty meh about the bridge one - it's almost like its not really got the output I was expecting - has anyone else found the bridge unit lacking? I realise that Hetfield is using this almost exclusively in Mahogany guitars (Iron Cross / Truckster / Snakebite) and I've stuck it in an alder one but even so it sounds thinner to me that I was expecting?
Anyone else got any experience of this pickup in an alder guitar, or just in general? Let me know your thoughts - thanks!
