  • Jackson dk2 pickup setup

    I just ordered a jackson dk2 and im going to change the pickups, but im a somewhat new guitarist and i still am not sure about the intricacies of the different pickup combos, but will this one work out well?
    Bridge: EMG-81 Humbucker
    Mid: Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Single coil
    Neck: EMG-S3 Single coil

    im going for a heavy metal sound, and any help is appreciated. thanks!

    You can't mix non active pickups with EMGs due to EMGS using 25k pots since they are active. Well, you CAN, but the wiring is a bit complex and not something I would recommend for a newer guitarist. I would go EMG85 and two EMG Single Coils (which Im not sure which ones there are or you would want)

        If you are relatively new to guitar playing, why the need to change the pups anyway? The SD pickups on the newer DK2s are far from lousy.

          +1. Why don't you wait and see how they sound like through your rig? You may like them.

            +2. The Seymour Duncans on the DK2 is just as good as the Emg´s (Even better in my opinion) So no need to change them.

              that's so wrong! Play the guitar first and then decide!
