Pickups For djent/Drone metal fusion

Ever consider DiMarzio pickups?

every extra wind of wire increases midrange at the expense of bass and treble, remember this

a lot of the amplifiers listed in your amp posts have more than enough input gain to turn an underwound pickup into a snarling beast.... if you decide to get soemthing vintage like a sunn or hiwatt you would want overwound pickups but once you go high end high gain the guitar's output becomes academic, even the slo100 which is not THAT high gain by today's standards has more than you probably need for a humbucker to obtain br00tality... as a recording engineer I have found that the more blown out a guitar sound the less loud it actually seems, both on the floor and in the control room... I know that more is more, but there's a point where more becomes less even if less is not actually more... a lot of the bands who have made a good go of the styles you're into no exactly when enough is enough and they just stp turning it up at the point of wrecking their sound.

also, DCR is not a great measure of output, its a rough guideline... the magnet plays a really big role. A very powerful magnet is a good way tog et high output and full bandwidth with a more moderate number of turns...

if I were in your shoes I would invest in the amp first and see what it can do with my current axe, get to know it, then you'll have an idea what yuour pickup needs may be to get to the sound you have in your head.... the amp is a much bigger factor as are speakers.... your speaker cabinet will be the ultimate shaper.... that's the last transducer the signal sees and the cab itself is a tone filter...

edit: the texas special is not one of my favorite pickups personally, I ahd htem, just meh.... you will find them to be a giant midrange, brassy mess under more than moderate gain. I've had good expereinces with Fralin's overwound strat with the baseplate and recommend it as a better overwound alternative to a texas special. I personally use angeltone strat pickups these daysbut fralin was my bridge pickup when iw as still in an active pro band. You may want to consider a noiseless option if you're doing this sort of music as the hum gets pretty loud on singles in the age of smart phones and high gain. I hear great things about dimarzios noiseless strat pickups and they're quite popular in the metal world.
