Would there be any problems with having both Seymour Duncan and Dimarzio pickups in the same guitar? The only issue I could see would be with them being in phase with each other, which would simply require a switching of the leads.
The reason I ask is because I've got plans for my Floyd. I mentioned elsewhere that I was planning on replacing the single coils with Dimarzio Area 61s. While I don't feel a great need to swap out the humbucker, I was considering swapping it out for a Seymour Duncan George Lynch Screamin' Demon. My reasoning is that right now my Fender and my Floyd have very similar sounding humbuckers. The Screamin' Demon, despite what it's name might imply, is a brighter and somewhat lower output pickup. I think it's rated at 10K impedance. That would match somewhat better with the single coils as well as be better for clean passages. I'm also a huge Lynch fan, as my avatar would indicate. It would also offer some differentiation with my Fender.
Thoughts?
