I love the Iron Man set. The bridge sounds fierce for rhythm tones, while both the bridge and neck sing for leads.
It's a great option for a bright sounding guitar. The bridge Iron Man especially has a wicked growl and really kicks you in the balls.

Here it is in standard E/Drop D:

 
How do you like the Iron Man neck compared to the Godwood neck?
 
What amp are you running through? That tone was up my alley. Sounds good
 
Sounds great! I’ve got an Iron Man in a LP and I love it. As you said, a ton of grind and growl.
 
that does sound good, lots of low mid growl, love that sound.
 
awesome and gnarly as fuck
is that the peters?

The higher I tune, the more I like the Iron Man neck. For lower tunings I prefer a bit brighter a neck pickup to compensate for the darker tone that detuning and thicker strings creates. So one of my E/Drop D and one of my D/Drop C guitars have the Iron Man neck. And one of my C/Drop B guitars has a Godwood Neck. And likewise if the guitar is too dark sounding, then a brighter neck pickup is a better fit.

But I think I smile more broadly when the guitar warrants an Iron Man Neck. It's just so powerful and juicy.

Thanks man. It's my Peters GNL which is the same tonal lineage as the Peters Fire Hammer.

Right on man. I don't think there's any other extreme output pickup like it. I've tried some extreme output models by Bare Knuckle and Dimarzio, and the Iron Man smokes them.

I'll have a couple of extreme Motor City bridge pickups soon to compare to the Iron Man bridge. It'll be interesting to see how they stack up.
