Hi Harlow
thanks for the reply man
I was looking into them.. they sound interesting, I liked the Crunch Lab better, but its a plus to have the screw top pole pieces to fit the SG standard look.
I don't know these.. but I like Linkin Park's sound so.. yeah. give those a look
ohw yeah Vai gets a great sound..
I mostly play with my Line 6 Spider II (love that amp!!) I also have a Bugera Inf. G5 (Mesa Boogie Special II clone) but as a head. Great amp, sounds amazing! but day to day I use the Line 6.
The main thing I was hoping was.. for it to some with the chrome cover already.
Do you know any DiMarzios that are covered I could check out?
thanks for the reply man
The Illuminators are pretty cool for high-gain stuff, and they split well for more single-coil sounds, but they're really modern-voiced, and pretty tight (which may or may not be your thing).

The D Sonic (which is one blade coil and one hex coil but I think you could put a cover on) was Brad Delson's (from Linkin Park) pickup of choice for a while, but I have no personal experience but I hear it's a bit of a marmite pickup. Dunno about the coil split though, so hopefully someone who's had one can chime in.

The Tone Zone (I think) would probably be my personal recommendation -- I've played it in a bunch of Ibby Prestiges, and it always sounds really killer for high-gain stuff. It's pretty thick and warm, so it works best with brighter amps or a TS-style boost. Splits pretty well too, so it would probably cover your bases.
