I decided to play around with a few sets of PU's in my reborn 200, to maximise the tone, the stock gibson pat no's were not to my taste, so...
first a set of tom holmes, ..lovely clean, but unpotted, so screamed like a banshee with any gain...so they came out...then in went some seth lovers, followed by classic 57's, followed by old dimarzio paf's,(three of my favourite mass produced PU's.)...again all pretty close and nice..or so I thought at the time.....then i tried my old favourites, some peter florence 59 voodoo's and some greco dry Z's...the guitar came alive with both, but in different ways, the PFV were focused and crisp and clear and very balanced overall...the DRY Z were very close to the PFV in every way except they are creamier and hotter with gain, and have a tighter punchier bass response..both the dry Z and the PFV made the gibsons/seths/dimarzio's sound like very poor relations....!!!.
so she has the voodoo's at the moment, but only because i have no spare DRY Z's and had to pinch a pair from an EGF-1200..
DRY Z / Voodoo's ..joint 1st place then the classic 57's then the dimarzio's and finally the seths...
anyway ...just wanted to share.... 8)
