Hey guys,
I had decided on BKP Blackhawks as the pickups for what I was going for tonally, but I cannot afford BKP Blackhawks for both my guitars. I have a maple/koa neck-thru Carvin 7 string with mahogany wings and an ebony fretboard. I am receiving a Carvin 6 string of very similar design and I am going to need to change out the stock pups of both soon in order to begin recording an EP with my band.
I had originally decided on Blackhawks because I needed pickups with the capability of achieving ethereal, The Contortionist-esque soft clean sounds as well as full, heavy distortion tones like something Vildhjarta or Northlane would play.
Any suggestions? Ideally I would like the pickup set to be below $200. Thanks for your help!
