I generally request Brierley pickups in all of the guitars I have built these days. And if a particular guitar I own doesn't turn me on for some reason, it's usually because of the pickups. Again, I turn to Mick Brierley to make everything right and he never fails me. The US Charvels built around 2008/2009 like this one are superb players but they mostly shipped with amp-kicking pickups like high output DiMarzios. Those pickups are great if you're playing balls to the wall rock, but not so great if you want some dynamics and subtlety to feature as well. Enter my friend, Mick Brierley.
I've use a patch I tweaked in the Axe-FX II to demo the pickups this time. It's basically a Fender Vibro King amp (great cleans) with an Eternity Drive and some room. Works for me.
Thanks Mick!
