I'm thinking about a '59 set for an alder Flying V tuned to D for quot;Death Metalquot;
The tone clips of the '59 sound badass, but I'm concerned about it being hot enough. The guitar has an EMG mid-boost. I've also considered an oversized ceramic for the bridge pickup. Any thoughts?

What bands of death metal are you gonna be playing??? bodom????

My ideal guitar tone is quot;Heartworkquot; by Carcass.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the '59s. They're a great sounding pickup, and they've got some clarity, which to my ears seems to be lost as you go to the higher output ceramic mags. If you want more bite though, you might consider a Full Shred in the bridge. That's what I've got in mine and it sounds good.
