if you really think about it, the sound that made metallica famous were just standard EMG models. Mainly the 81. If they revoiced these pickups to his liking, itd just be what james' taste for this year lol....its not gonna be the "original" metallica sound. Its like the randall "kirk...
i agree with what zimbloth said about the rebel yell. I have a calibrated RY set in my PRS custom 22 and they sound awesome for just about everything ive played on them. The neck pickup can scream or be bluesy almost almost to the point of a PAF. The bridge pickup is plenty hot and can...

the 3 way toggle switch (the black one) lets you choose between magnetic only/ magnetic-piezo combined/ or piezo only the silver toggle basically just turns the piezo on and off...like a master on/off switch.
