i'm plannin to upgrade my pickups to something that makes more djent tone at the same it's versatile to any types of genre.
i'm currently using a Telecaster with humbuckers.

EMG-H4 or DiMarzio Crunch Lab?

if you have something more to add on, you are very much welcome.

The EMG may be be (arguably) more versatile, but those CrunchLabs sound great. Pair it with a Liquifire in the neck!

The EMG-H4 is pretty aggressive, so it'll definitely work and will probably sound great. IMO the CrunchLab is the superior pickup, though.

i find the h4 kinda muddy.
i also use a tele with humbuckers Laughing out loud
i would recomend the seymour duncan distortion, it has enought mids to djentify almost any guitar, and hot enought to blow away stuff Laughing out loud
and connecting it in parallel, produces a lovely clean sound
asdasd i love that pickup, i would use it on all my guitars, but here its too expensive.
140 dollars aprox D:
