Anything with dimarzios. Also the schecters that have the pickups schecter makes in california sound super duper good. Vintage hagstroms have great pickups in them.

Apparently the pickups are called "Hot N Nasty," so.

I wish there were a site where you could plug in what specs you're looking for and get a list of applicable guitars. Probably impossible since no one can agree on what information to publish. A boy can dream. :trippy:

I love GFS pickups.
These aren't $100-300, but sometimes you can find Edwards for around $500, they have Seymour Duncans.

I got a Epiphone 56' Gold Top Les Paul with p90s for $250. Stock pickups are pretty good, though the neck and bridge are the same output. I've read sometimes that is common, but the neck is a bit louder so they're not balanced, but it sounds and feels really good.

Score. I want that guitar. You recommend it then? Where in the world did you find it at that price?

I've read some people say the Chinese ones are better than the Korean. Mine is MIK. had frets leveled. Guy said neck wasn't the straightest, but overall it's a nice guitar. New nut, frets level, I have like $325 into it. Nice guitar.

Guy I bought it from wanted $300, I offered $250. I don't think many people know about them as being good. People on the Mylespaul forums speaks highly of them.
