Get an 89 for the neck, for a little bit more you get the coil split option. For the middle you have no choice but to get the EMG single coil S or SA(unless you want to fuck with some wacky electrical circuitry), don't really know the difference. You can probably buy the prewired pickguard if you have an Ibanez or something.

Wow, Please atleast attempt to use proper grammar and full words. We're not on World of Warcraft here. Yea you're probably gonna want to get an emg 89 for the neck or maybe even one for the bridge as well just so you can have the coil tap ability. May I ask what kind of amp you're using right now?

Dont mean to hijack this thread but I have 1 question. If I have a guitar set up with a 81 85 set up can I buy a 60 and simply just put it in and play or do I have to change the wiring for it.

Jon Doanis uses an EMG-85 in the bridge and 81 in the neck. If that helps at all.

You should get Duncan Performers. The price is right and they're screamers, too.

You must be crazy. If anything the B.C. Rich pickups from a 2005 Bronze series guitar would fucking own just about all these pickups. Problem is you practically have to buy the guitar to get at those sweet ass pickups. They are exclusively found on B.C. Rich. and its really hard to find them any where else.
I got them on all my guitars! |

Dude!  That is what you are really paying for with those guitars. The pickups are make ONLY for B.C. Rich and let me tell you...
Those things fucking burn! Crazy hot! B.C. Rich will not even tell who makes them. On'y way to get them is to buy a B.C. Rich. |

Dude, its worth it, trust me. I recently sold my Washburn so I could get a 2005 Bronze and HOLY SHIT I think I had a twofold increase in tone when I took the pickups out of the B.C. Rich and put them in the Schecter. |

Well, my Washburn was 200$, and that's how much it costs basically to go buy a Bronze. Getting the pickups out of there and in your axe is an entirely different story though.
