Need or want? :D Check out Dimarzio's.

3rd for Dimarzio! Oh wait, mine just arrived and I haven't installed them yet ...

But, I'm curious about wanting "clarity" of sound for "screamo/hardcore." Has the definition of hardcore changed?

:lol:

The last screamo/hardcore guitarist I heard, at least it did to me, had a set-up where every note he played sounded exactly the same.

Used to be, was a part of me felt like hiding.. but now it comes through. Comes through to you.

No one famous or anything. Just a local band. Not exactly the kind of music I dig to begin with, so perhaps I'm (extremely) biased.

Are you sure it's not your amp settings that's causing the problem? I personally would go with EMG's and less gain on the amp. Some careful eq could help as well. I would spend a day just tweaking amp settings before I spent the money. Boosting highs and lows and dumping mids isn't always the answer. Tweak and listen, tweak and listen. That's what I would do first.
