Pickup in alder (SH-5 vs SH-10 vs SH-12)
I want to find good pickup in bridge in my alder body guitar (maple/rosewood neck). For metal. But I don't want mega-high output pickup, I want "readable" pickup, good for rhythm and lead, with good articulation and good clean sound. And good mids, if it can be
From what I choose now:
1) Duncan Custom SH-5
2) Full Shred SH-10
3) George Lynch Screamin’ Demon SH-12
What can you recomend or add to my list?

I really like the Custom 5 in my Charvel (alder body, maple neck). But i dont know about metal... It is great for Hard rock.

I have a San Dimas. Bought it used on ebay a couple of years ago and she is still with me.

I know it's not related to the topic but I'll ask anywayWhat charvel do you own? I know some of the custom shop charvies have a TB14 stock as does the wild card
I'm thinking of buying myself charvel socal
I tried to find charvel socal made in USA But I did not find
what you think about the new charvel made in japan Compared to the USA?
Re: Pickup in alder (SH-5 vs SH-10 vs SH-12)
Hate to say it, but there's pretty much ZERO difference between the Made-in-Japan versions and the Made-in-USA models and I've owned both. The frets and fretboard edges are actually finished to a more "broken in" feel on the Japanese models! Hardware and feature-wise, there's no difference at all. Quality is identical, sound is consistent.
Biggest downside for me is that the "Trans Kandy Magenta" finish was a USA-only color and hard to find...I want another one!

^The USA maple fingerboards were natural. They MIJ ones were yellowed. I prefer the natural look. The MIJ factory that was making ProMods closed, btw.
