I saw her a few years ago at Costco selling her book, she looked pretty good IMHO.

Suhr Woodbucker would be my suggestion. 12k or so, A2 magnet, and it is well balanced. Cleans up nicely too.

On paper, the Pariah Pasadena White 'should' be a lot like the Duncan '78. I have both and both work well. But the Pariah somehow sounds bigger and 'hotter' than the '78 to my ears in the exact same guitar.

I waited entirely too long to try a Duncan '78 in my American Standard. It pairs great with the single coils, and plays like a hot vintage PAF, but feels like a high-output pickup under the fingers (but doesn't sound squashed and compressed like one).

It replaced an AT-1, which was way too dark and muffled.

I took a Duncan 78 out of a new PRS I got the other day and put a Fred in it.

How would you say they compare to each other?

Aldrich isn't bad. BKP has a few solid offerings as well. The Holy Diver, Black Dog, and Emerald. The Black Dog is fantastic.
