I know everyone hits the Incinerate forum and has already seen this. :emot-LOL: But for those that haven't...

Jackson SL1 - I picked this up a few weeks ago. Couple nights ago I installed the APC21 Persuader Lead Bridge Pickup.

That's damn sexy Scott, except the lightning reminds me of those cheesy air-brushed Indian/wolf shirts you can buy at truck stops. Haha

Yeah, I hear ya. I'm not a huge fan of graphics on guitars, but I thought this was pretty tame compared to most. Not to mention I didn't want another plain black guitar. And lastly, I got a really sick deal on this - $800 under the normal retail price. So I just couldn't pass it up.

Yeah, I really like the pickup. The neck is extremely comfortable too.

I have the same but an sl-2. I have emg-81`s but I need either 85`s or something new. The 81`s don`t really click with the alder body.

Anyone else out there have a guitar with this pickup configuration - HB, S, S - one thing I have found that is really annoying me, is that when I'm playing, my pick hits the top of that middle single coil pickup once and a while. Anyone else have that problem. If I try I can avoid it, but it sucks having to purposely try to avoid it while playing. It only seems to happen when alternate picking 8th notes on the top string.

I had that problem, then I just lowered the fuck out of the middle single coil. You should get used to it as well, as time goes on.

Yeah, I do. I just got used to it and that isn't a problem anymore.
