I recently purchased a Godin xtsa (been wanting one for a while now). It should arrive this week.
After playing it exhaustively at the store I have a feeling I will be replacing the stock pickups, but I am not sure which direction to go with this.
FWIW, the Godin has a maple body, mahogany neck and ebony fretboard, with a H-SC-H pup configuration.
I play country, hard rock, funk, and bits and pieces of other styles.
I am really impressed by the George Lynch Screamin demons...I like a heavy sound with plenty of sustain and ballsy pinch harmonics, but I cant lose the warm roundness of tone and individual string resonance. I am totally open to experienced advice before I throw down the cash, though.
Any suggestions or comments? Any Godin owners out there who have modded this way?
Which pup would be good for bridge vs neck position?
Lace sensor for the middle SC?
All thoughts and opinions are welcome, and thanks in advance.
