    Default Help with pickup decision?

    I'm a HUGE Dave Mustaine fan (if my name didnt give it away :P), but anyways, I want that "perfect" tone that he had during Rust in Peace album particularly on Holy Wars. I know for a fact that he used a Jazz SH2N in the neck... Yet when I look at the music video he has what looks like a DiMarzio X2N in the neck position? Idk haha.

    whatever pickup that will give me that as close as can be Mustaine tone please Oh in the neck position too.

    I play an ESP LTD KH 202 with EMG 81/60 right now, and I've been using Peavey amps all my life. Right now its a Peavey Vypyr 30 30W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp (The loudest 30w you can f**king buy! I use this thing @ concerts!)

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    i hate to discourage you from this, but as far as i know the only way to get that sound is to play like mustaine. i believe the JB was used on that album, possibly via a marshall with likely additional EQing.
