Bareknuckle Holydiver!

Have you ever played one? I did not like it that much after a while much prefer the VHII and the Cold sweat.

VHII has more clarity than Holydiver, the HD is thicker, but works great in super strats. VHII for crunch/clarity, HD for thickness is what I would chose. The Cold Sweat is IMO too bright for a strat type, but works great in SGs and other Mahogany guitars.

I did like the Holy diver, but I found it a bit bland and got bored of it after a while. I disagree about the Cold sweat but I do like bright tones. It is bright but not in a harsh way, more in a nuno bettencourt kind of way where it is really cutting and has alot of top end bite.
