Toying with the idea of trying something different in the bridge of my 594. I've been intrigued by the mark holcomb sig stuff from seymour duncan.. anyone running the omega? I see there is also the Scourge bridge pickup which looks interesting to me as well

I really wish SD universally offered covered pickups... but I guess I can order a cover from philedelphia luthier tools again like I did when I put the pegasus in my LP

I've used both the Omega and the Scourge. I like them both actually, though the Scourge has a bit more of a midrange-y sound to my ears. The Omega definitely feels a bit hotter and again to my ears feels like it's got a bit tighter bottom end than the Scourge, but only slightly. Either one of those would probably sound nice in something like a 594. As for covers, might be worth reaching out to Duncan's custom shop and find out if you can get the pickup with a cover, they seem to offer a good amount of options through the C.S. so it could be worth looking into?

I ended up getting the scourge, and a cover from PL, have them sitting right here! Going into the 594 this week, will definitely report back
