ive always had pretty hot pickups in order to give my tone a little kick. with the axe fx it seems it could be easily done with pedals, preamp, "tube saturation" and even speaker breakup. it got me thinking that if i started using some colder pickups i could get a much more versatile setup and not need soo many guitars. changing pickups just to experiment is a little too expensive so i was just wondering what you guys thought. i mainly play metal but i love jazz tones and have never really had a blues/rock tone that i liked. what do you guys think?
