Alright, well I been using a Duncan Jazz pickup in various guitars for the past 3 years.. love it.. but theres a certain tone im trying to achieve by using it and its not QUITE perfect yet, close but not quite..

But know what sound I would REALLY love to achieve? I dunno if it would be possible with a solidbody, but that like Hollowbody sound, similar to like Alex Skolnick Trio stuff.. I LOVE that tone he gets. I talked to a guy who took lessons from him and he used I think if I can remember, a Gibson hollowbody..

Think theres any pickup that could get that tone or somewhat close to it? Going thru either Maple neck/mahogany wings or Maple neck/Alder wings solidbodies? 6 and 7

Like if you heard the song "Dont talk to strangers" by Alex Skolnick Trio.. God I love that tone, although it really does sound more acousticy, so I doubt I could replicate it.. but maybe if I were to get piezo's + some kinda pickup + Pod XT magic..
