How do you like the p90 in the neck? I want something kinda bright and clean in the neck, especially if I put something aggressive like a Distortion in the bridge.
Speaking of the neck - they sell Distortion/Jazz sets saying that the Jazz is really bright and does cleans in the neck really well. Anybody care to weigh in on that?

What has you leaning more toward the PAFs over the Distortion?

Does he have a website or facebook to check out?

My current favorite is BG Pups, cause I like supporting one-man shops...and they're not priced like US-made pickups. I have a couple of his pickups, and I really want to try his Lizard humbucker.
I had a pair of P-Rails in an LP style guitar that I really liked (for sheer versatility, but they sounded good all-around).
I've never tried the full-size Dimarzio Tone Zone, but I have a couple of the strat-sized versions in guitars, and I love that pickup in any position! (I wire them with 3-ways for series, parallel, split).
Forgot about BG - do you know how long his current wait times are?

And yes, pair them with the Elements.
The Dimarzio is a PAF, right? And an Elements will be my next gear purchase or I'll punch myself in the dick. I've put it off for far too long now - there must be consequences if I don't do what must be done.
