Need pup recommendation for a 91' Charvel Fusion Plus. It has 24 frets, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, ash body, dual humbuckers, Jackson JT-590 Schaller licenced Floyd Rose bridge. Crucially, this guitar is a "Fusion" between a Strat and a Gibson; i.e., Strat body and vibrato bridge, but Gibson dual hum configuration and "short" 24.75" Gibson scale length.
This guitar will be my primary 80's EVH and Hair Metal axe, but also will be used for classic 70's Hard Rock.
It has a 5-way super switch to select pups, which gives multiple combinations of humbucking and split coil tones, so both pups need to have enough output to produce convincing single coil tones when split.
Current pups are very high output active Reflex Silver pups, which have great sustain for single note instrumental rock melody lines, but are too compressed for what I play. I need more attack and punch for rhythm work. Also, when I turn the active tone control up past the flat detent, the bridge pup becomes very harsh, but if tone is flat or cut, there is not enough bite and cut.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
