How does the M Holcomb Omega compare to other high-output bridge pickups?
The M Holcomb Omega shares the high-output, aggressive character of pickups like the EMG 81/85 and DiMarzio D Activator, but its ceramic magnet design and 12.96K DCR emphasize punchy midrange and string separation—keeping articulation intact even at heavy gain levels.
