ESP goes all-in on single-pickup builds for 2025 – is the neck humbucker becoming a thing of the past for metal guitars?

17 years ago I had to spend stupid money and wait 6 months (or more) for custom shop guitars with a single bridge pickup, a Floyd and a kill switch. They had to write up my own CAD program. Now the gunslinger style is making a comeback? Fuck this world.

Neck pickup is way better for clean tones.

Clean tones are for acoustics.
