I've got an Evo in my RG550. It's a great pickup, but over time, I've decided it's not what I want. It's a little too focused and very trebly (in a good way, mind). I want something that sounds a little fatter and juicier- so I'm getting a Tone Zone to go in there.

I've got a Norton in the neck of my RG550- bit unorthodox as it's designed as a bridge pickup, but I put 10s on it last month and put better electrical components in it sounds killer for clean tone- really hard edged sound. It's not quite the classic neck tone- more trebly- you can get pinch harmonics out of it quite easily.

The Crunchlab/Liquidfire are what John Petrucci of Dream Theater uses (they were designed for him). That's enough for me! Huge DT fan!
