    Default Dimebucker

    I'm looking into it for replacing my bridge on my Schecter C-1 Plus.

    I usually play in a whole step down, some bands i cover are Children of Bodom, Pantera, Ozzy, Black Label Society and Megadeth.

    I really want a pickup that can be heavy, give amazing leads, and scream pinch harmonics.

    Would you recommend the Dimebucker for my playing style?

    I wouldnt myself. Do a search for details.

    I would go for a Duncan Livewire Heavy metal myself.

    The Dime sounds amazing in mahogany. I have installed them into several PRS guitars and the owners have always been floored by the tone.

    A Duncan Distortion set will also sound very fat and nasty in your Schecter C-1+.

    IMO I think the sh-6 (DIstortion Humbucker) work better when you surf a lot of music styles...

    dimebucker + mahogany + droptuning = instant winner imo. The dime isn't my fav in standard tuning or brighter guitars, but it's a killer in a warmer sounding setup combined with droptuning. Very tight and aggressive, but still with lots of balls and no harshness.
