Picks are Dunlop Tortex sharp, green or heavier.

Strings are Earnie Ball 8-38, unless I'm down tuning.

Pickups are a bit less specific. I've been really into Motor City pickups for the last few years. I have an Afwayu set that I really like for modern heavy tones, and a Detroiter set which are not a heavy on the lows, but still really nice. Just recently got a WCR Icebucker set from a fellow forum member, and I really liike those too. They are a bit lower output than I'm used to, but very nice. Warm and clear!
 
Dunlop Ultex Std. 1-1.3mm

Picks: still experimenting, but currently Jazz III Tortex or regular Jazz III's

I flip-flop between Dunlop thinner picks and Fender Medium picks
D'Addario Strings but thinking about moving back to EB (what I used in high school)
Was a huge Suhr Aldrich pickup fan but sold the guitar with it installed
Now I have an EVH and Warren Demartini Sig
 
Dunlop Ultex, Gators, or Tolex (0.73-1.0)
GHS Boomers or Ernie Ball Slinkys or Super Slinky's .10-.46,
Motor City Pickups
 
picks usually dunlop tortex sharp .88

strings, almost alwasy dean markley blue steels in whatever gauge i need

pickups are entirely guitar dependant, and even more-so so are the pot values, and caps i use.
 
Picks: Dunlop Pitch Black 1.14s or Tortex Purple Jazz (pretty much the same thing)
Strings: DR DDT 10-46 (Eb, Drop Db) Considering experimenting with a few different brands, no issues with DR, just curious.
Pickups: My PRS Factory loaded pickups (Dragon 1's in one axe, Tremonti's in another) have faired well for me.
