You know those tones that, even the first time you hear them, just floor you, and you have to have that sound (or the closest thing to it)?

From The Tangent's second and most recent album, The World That We Drive Through:

Clip of lead guitar
I want that tone!

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as pickups go? I'm sorry - I don't know anything about the guitar that this song is being played on - I assume it's a strat or similar guitar, and that it's Roine Stolt playing.

--Edit--

As far as his guitar goes, it's either this, a Parker Fly, or a studio guitar

dont know that band but from the clip its a neck pickup for sure,with lots a mid qualitys.

low output pickupis my guess. Or perhaps a slightly fatetr single coil.

have you consider dimarzio humbuckers

note: hear strabge beautiful music of joe satriani and compare
any way that's my guess
