Best pickups for modern Rock

[GTR37]

Hey All
I am building a modern Tele
Mahog body with flame or quilt maple top
The stuff we play usually is drop D Shinedown , pop evil
I am looking for a bridge pickup I have used a tone zone forever but that is in an Ibanez RG

I am looking at
Bare knuckle Rebel Yell , Silo
Peacemaker , Black dog

Dimarzio Fortitude , anniversary and AT1

Anyone use the above likes and dislikes obviously BKP are $$$$$$ but I don’t mind spending if they are an improvement

You really can’t go wrong with any of those on your list.

I’d say Peacemakers or Silos if money’s no object.

The peacemakers to me sounded just a lil bit harsh
From the clips a bit sharp in upper mids and not a ton of low end

Silos

I know absolutely nothing about pickups.
I thought it might be helpful to ask so that you hopefully get a more accurate response.

"Modern Rock" = "Today's Country Music"

"Rock" for me says "PAF style".

Post grunge

not metal

Is this the right thread to once again express my love for EMG Pickups?

I am thinking these Nolly pickups sound pretty good

I had a set in my Charvel Dan Dimas. I absolutely lovvved the neck pickup. The bridge? It was ok. It was kind of neutral and really didn’t have much personality.

Now a Polymath Neck with Silo Bridge is something I could get down with!

Bare Knuckles get really good feedback from actual users
Meaning not Rhett Shill

Only BKPs I use are Mules but I love them. They’re PAF voiced and sound great with higher gain.

Agreed I asked them and it was Tim who recommended poly math based on the guitar being mahogany and ebony neck

I really wanted to like the Peacemaker but it had some character I am not fond of almost like a fuzz around the notes and lil low end

The plain Dimarzio Fortitude is another one I love in the demos even though I play nothing like Gojira I love his tone

I have heard they are great too the problem is there are just to many options
Mules are Alnico 2 right so more like the Slash or EVH Frankie’s

Suhr humbuckers have proven themselves over and over again.
SSH+ bridge and a SSV neck is probably my favorite all around set.
