Hi guys, I've been playing guitar for the last 10 years and I own a Custom Shop R0 since two years.
I play mostly blues and jazz, I love warm and full tones. I mainly play with a slight overdrive on that colors my sound, making it more "alive".
However, all my favorite bands are strong with distortions: Guns n Roses, ACDC, Gary Moore, Led Zeppelin, Manson, Muse.
With music I don't pay the bills, it's just a passion that I have carried for years, so I don't need pickups that faithfully reproduce the blues sound of BB King or the distortions of GNR, but I would still like to upgrade my guitar.
I have never approached the world of boutique pickups before, but since I discovered there are hundreds of them, I have been thinking about it: "What if I could upgrade my R0? Why not?"
I tried to inform as much as possible on the internet, the ones that seems most popular in dozens of threads are: Holmes - Throbak - Ox4.
I would like your extremely sincere opinion on which of the three do you recommend, based on what I play and what I like?
Thanks for your kind attention
