So I have a cheap rg7321 which I have tired of the sound of. It plays great but ever since I got a rg2610e guitar with a duncan tb-10 on it everything else has paled in comparison.

So I'm looking for a new bridge pickup.

I don't like the sound of actives (too flat) and my amp is a peavey jsx. I usually have it set it for scooped mids and medium high gain.

I am considering the lundgren m7 but the only place I can find to buy it, it's $410 which is a hard pill to swallow. Also the reviews of the m7 seem to be fairly mixed, from being muddy to the greatest thing ever and I think it really depends on your amp, not something I want to make a $410 gamble on.

I play thrashish type stuff. Lots of single note phrases, lots of palm muting, lots of non-powerchord intervals, also lots of treble.

From what I've read the tb-10 isn't a super high output humbucker anyway it's just extremely articulate and that's also something i'm looking for from my 7string. I would just try another duncan pickup but there's no point in having two guitars that sound exactly the same. Anything else I should research?
