Oh man... It looks like, that i am alone saying, that I like the Lithium pickups.
I have a Kiesel Vader V8:
Top: Racing orange with white Logo
Body: Alder
Finish: Clear satin
Fretboard: Zebrawood
Neck: 5-Piece Mahogany Neck w/ 2 Maple Stripes
Scale: 27”
Pickups: Kiesel Lithium Cream
I agree, that Lithiums are bright and lag bass... But for modern rock/metal, that I play it is exactly what I look for.
Here is one song I just finished using my Kiesel for all the guitar tracks:
And I'm not here to argue.
If the pickups don't work. Then it is best to replace them quickly. It was just shocking for me to see, that everyone in this thread hates them.
