Right, with the strat set decided, need to change the EMG's on the SE Torero as soon as it arrives!
I had an Ibanez Jem 20 yrs ago. Loved it, but i dint know much about Tone back then.

They seem like great hard rock, heavy metal pickups! Need thickness, tight bass and harmonics galore. Only the neck pickup needs to handle clean tones.
Thinking EVO2/Evo Neck, Illuminator Set, or Transitions Set in that order.
Thought of D-Activators as well but the neck D-Act may be way too bright in that guitar! I like that pickup though, tight and compressed. Perhaps too compressed.
Also, for bizarre mental blocks, i'd like to stick with a matched set Dunno why! I just prefer it!

Any suggestions ?

PRS SE TORERO: Floyd Rose, EMG's Mahogany Body, Maple veneer, Maple neck, Ebony Fretboard. And its purple.....so i may go with Purple pickups

Cheers

Gravity Storm set added to list of options as well !!

D Activators are a smudge shrap and a wee bit rigid. Both good things if you want a tight focused sound.

The Illuminator is a good option, if you think of the D Activator with a bit more openness, if that makes sense.

Both are good selections, depending on your goals.

Thats a great way to describe the Illuminator.
I havent played both to be able to compare, but that description is very attractive!
Cheers!
