Which pickup would be best for playing Amish Gospel mixed with a little hip hop?

The gibson. Unless you are hellbent for the dimebucker, get a Bill Lawrence L-500XL... It sounds so much better than the dimebucker. The dimebucker is so high-endy that it is almost annoying unless you throw a eq before your amp.

No problem.

billlawrence.com Takes 2 months to ship they are handwound
AND
stew mac ship right away as far as i believe. They are machine wound.

There has been alot of argument about the two companys.
Basically the two different companys are owned by two men who were in partnership many years ago. Since then they have split and each make the L-500xl. Most people say there is not much differences in output or tone at all/if any.

Expect to pay up to 60 bucks for a B.L including shipping. Not to shabby.
