It is very hard to compare pickups. What sounds good in one guitar can sound totally different in another. I have Dry 1982's in my greco and i love them, i find them a very well rounded pickup, excellent clean tone and also great distorted.

I play mostly hard rock and more modern metal type music, lots of chunky riffs with more melodic choruses. Anything from straight power chords to full six string distorted but very cool sounding chords. I also use different types of tuning like, DADGCD and so on. I only have a fender 70 watt performer at the moment, it is quite a heavy sounding amp, i mainly use this one at home as it distorts well without getting muddy or weak at low volumes.

Yes the neck pickup is great, in my guitar the bridge is perfect, brighter than the neck of course but still thick and versatile. Tone controls are very good on mine , try backing the tone down a bit and se how that goes.

Thanks Diodibuh. I used to have guitar with super distortion pickup for a few years. It took me 4 month to get used to DRY 1982, and now I really like them. Bridge pickup cuts very nicely and sounds very clear. I can get very nice EVH brown sound even from my Line6 kidney. Guitar is very versatile.
Neck pickup sings very smoothly for some nice leads but is also suitable for jazzy tones while middle position can be used for some funky style. Bridge pickup rocks. I still can?t believe that guitar sound so great. It?s really sad that is Greco so unknown among Gibby lovers.

Most gibbo lovers have no idea just how good these guitars are, and most are too blinded to even look.....all the better for us...

I was told that Gibson bought the patent to Dry Z pickups a few years ago and now and use them in the historic line...

DRY-Z's are a direct copy of the original PAF (Patent Applied For) pickups, why would Gibson buy the patent for a copy of something they have a patent on??

To stop anyone else selling pickups that are regarded so highly & that sell for so much money?

But you can't take a patent out of something that's a copy of something else. Something there are 100's of manufacturers copying anyway.
