Hello All,
I am going to have Charvel build my first cutom shop guitar. I'm pretty stoked. Though I certainly have a ton of opinions on pickups, I'd kind of like to hear what you'd pick if you were me.
The guitar will have 2 humbuckers, alder body, maple neck and a Floyd. I love heavy distortion for my metal gig but I also like backing off quite a bit to do more of a relaxed alternative vibe with just a touch of distortion. Getting a nice clean sound would be cool too.
Hey, I know that I really need 3 guitars for what I just described, and I do use several guitars for these purposes but I thought that if I could get all of this in one axe how cool would that be?
Priority:
1. Metal: deep bassy tones with clear treble and mids
2. Alt Rock: clear distiguishable notes when picking with slight distortion
3. Clean: well, just overall good tone
Oh, one more thing: I have always believed that if you start with a good sound there's a better chance you'll end with a good one. So pickups have always been important to me! That said, I use a variety of amps and floor effects. I use a JCM800 head/cab and recently got a Mesa dual rectifier that I'm still playing with.

It is an 85 and SA all in one with a push/pull pot.
