NGD Jackson Warrior

Got this in a trade this weekend. Great guitar, needs pickups for sure.

I own a Jackson JS22 in white just like your Warrior. I've got a standard trem on mine instead of the Floyd, but I'm assuming the 24 fret neck and electronics are identical. I find the neck on these guitars superb, not too thin and fatiguing like an Ibanez Wizard, but not too fat like a 50s Les Paul. This Jackson neck is the sweet spot.

I know that you prefer pickups with higher output, but these Jackson branded humbuckers were serviceable for my needs. The output on mine were in the PAF range, though they still had a touch too much of that naked presence and sterility that import ceramic magnet pickups often have. After swapping in A5 magnets they sound killer.

Just out of curiosity, what did you trade for this Jackson?

So these pickups are very similar to the Seymour Duncan’s in the soloist I just got. They sound very scooped, almost too squishy sounding. Hard to explain but yeah they are probably going to get yanked.

I traded the Hagstrom Pat Smear that I never play.
