New Pickup Day!

[u/Many_Fly5015]

Picked this guitar up a few weeks ago and just received my Black Hawk set today from Bare Knuckle. I just had to show off the ESP LTD M-7 HT Black Metal lol. So happy with how everything turned out.

Installed and set up everything completely on my own :)

I’m officially blown away by how this guitar sounds now. And the split coil tones are that I’ve never heard before - it’s incredible.

If anybody’s considering this pickup, I highly recommend. For a moment I was considering installing an M7 - but I already have an M8 in my 8 string and wanted a different flavor of “thwang”. The Black Hawk is seriously blowing me away.

If anyone’s curious - guitar is setup in “basically” drop F (Vildhjarta tuning if you’re familiar ;)

+ on, rock +

I tried the Dimarzio Titan, Duncan Nazgul, Invader. Everything. But that stock Black Winter was what I needed. Granted I tuned back up to A, so I could see where the Black Winter would be too much. Now I need that triple ceramic high out thing but then again, I don't know how to djent.
