What pick ups would you put in a Gibson Explorer ?

I gutted my Explorer today ..... currently have the Duncan Hot Rod Standard set in it ... JB /59 ....

looking for something new and different ..... mainly going to be playing hard rock / thrash with it ...

looking to stay Passive also ..........

I'd go with ones that fit. But of the ones that fit, I'd go with DiMarzio personally

Can't go wrong with a Super Distortion in double cream.

Anny neck/Norton or SDist bridge
Lover neck/Custom 5 or Custom Custom bridge
Crossroads neck/Godwood bridge

Well....I gutted my Hamer 25th Anniv. Artist last week that had the same pickups as your Explorer and dropped in a set of Bare Knuckle Mules. Blown away at the difference, its like an entirely new guitar. Massive clarity, increased low end chunk, 100% better. I've also got a set of Bare Knuckle VH1's in a R7 Les Paul that are equally as killer. I'm sold on these pickups and have been a many years Wolfetone devotee. Bought both sets of BK's on the used market

Duncan Distortion set

I would probably leave the 59 in the neck.

Gibson Dirty Fingers or 500 T in the bridge and a Duncan Jazz in the neck.

Ironman in bridge, whatever in neck
