One of my good friends and former bandmate wrote and recorded some really awesome black metal with some deafheaven influence (Ghost Bath, he's kind of secretive, maybe I'm not supposed to say anything) and he asked if I would be willing to be in his backing band. I obviously agreed but I don't really have a guitar that is metal ready. I don't want to buy a new guitar, but I would like to hotrod my Jay Turser MG-2 (Mustang-y w/ floating trem).
I was thinking a rail humbucker but I would like a second opinion from people who might be doing something roughly like this currently. I'm probably gonna use a combination of my DSL2000 and a Rat (with delay and reverb, whatever that's not as important), but as is my guitar definitely doesn't have the right tonality as is.
I'm torn between the Dimarzio Super Distortion S and the Seymour Duncan Hotrails. What would you do in my situation?
