DiMarzio Super Distortion.

My favourite is the Seymour Duncan Distortion (TB6 or SH6), but it depends on what kind of sound you want to achieve.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Except for, the Distortion is the best metal riffing pickup ever. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It depends. What kind of tone are you looking for? i.e., Melodic metal? Intense but clarity? "Balls to the wall" distortion?

Generally, though, I'm with Sully. Duncan Custom. Can't say about a '78, as I haven't had the pleasure of trying one yet. I'd also add the Dimarzio Super3, though.

P.S.- Happy B-day, Matt!
