So I'm looking between the EVH Frankenstein bridge pickup and the EVH Fender Wolfgang pickup for my Floyd Rose equipped ESP. Which of these two pickups would be better for it?

EVH pickup questions.
So I'm looking between the EVH Frankenstein bridge pickup and the EVH Fender Wolfgang pickup for my Floyd Rose equipped ESP. Which of these two pickups would be better for it?
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Depends on what kind of ESP, what kind of wood, and what kind of music.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Van Halen to pop punk. Basswood body with maple neck/rosewood fingerboard
Re: EVH pickup questions.
air zone or AT-1
Love the air zone for that Never tried the AT-1. I've heard both of those as candidates for the EBMM bridge pup.
Peavey Wolfgang(USA) At-1(b)/Air Norton(n)
Meanstreet Exile (Wolfgang Copy) A2 VHPAF(b)/VPAF(n)
Sterling AX40 stock (Axis copy pickups)
Epiphone LP Special EMG 85 bridge
1986 Epiphone S900 59/Custom Hybrid: stock singles (Duncan's to come)
Rouge P Bass Quarter Pounders
Epiphone Acoustic with seymour woody
1984 Marshall JCM 800 4010 Voodoo Modded w/Celestion g12t-75

Re: EVH pickup questions.
you will love it broThen my Wolfgang must try
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Wolfgang set.
AIi is not great for pop punk. Not tight. Ceramic better.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
I thought the new Fender Wolfie pickups were A5.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
I'd like to know what they are. The ones in my new Wolfgang sure don't sound ceramic.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
I had heard ceramic myself?
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Yea the new Fender Wolfs are suppose to be small ceramic mags.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Listen mate, please ignore all this crap about how an Alnico magnet doesn't suit this or that..
A magnet doesn't have a "sound" and this forum is getting totally out of hand in this regard.
Any maker will tell you that you can make a pickup sound any way you want, with whatever magnet you want.
Tom Anderson uses Neodynium for pete's sake !!
Your question is quite simple to answer without all the cork sniffing nonsense.
The Wolfgang is high output and the Franky is medium and brighter toned.
Choose based on that aspect.. who cares how it's made ????????
Re: EVH pickup questions.
I just need more of a kick. Is the relic Frankie pup the same as the regular production one in terms of sound?
Re: EVH pickup questions.
The relic version has an aged magnet, that's the biggest difference in terms of sound.
The rest is purely cosmetic.
What's in the guitar at the moment ?
Re: EVH pickup questions.
my 2cents, the relic and regular one are 100% exact same spec except the relic one is purposely aged and worn looking and the other is new looking.
other than that they are the same tone
Re: EVH pickup questions.
Duncan Custom SH-5...........
Re: EVH pickup questions.
ED, is that correct ?
I was given to understand the Frankie wasn't simply aged cosmetically.
Re: EVH pickup questions.
according to MJ when i spoke to her they only diff is the aging of the appearance and that eddie signed them, thats what she said?
