Hi! I bought a LTD SC 607B a couple months ago, very good looking instrument and very easy to play. But I haven't been that happy with the high gain tones I'm getting from it with the axe fx 2. It seems to have too much low end on it, and I always end up having to use a filter with a t808 with mids boosted to get minimum note definition and avoid muddy tones. Since I've always had a better experience using the axe fx with passive pickups (my old guitar had di'marzio's in it and I loved them, but I had to sell it when I moved), I've been thinking of changing it pickups but since it's stock pups are emg 81-7's, it's hard to find a passive substitute that fits on the same hole (I would like to avoid cutting wood to fit another pickup). It seems like the only option for me is to choose one of the Seymour Duncan pickups that come in the shape of active pups, so I guess I'll get the nazgull or the invader.
Do you guys think there are better options? Also, does anyone here uses that same guitar with stock pups on the Axe FX 2? If so, are you happy with the tone that you have? (Clips and tips are very welcome )
