I've never heard of the Oil City pickups before. Not even the name... Neither of the two places I usually buy gear have the brand, and only one of them has the DiMarzio Super Distortion Pickups. I think I'll try out the DiMarzio.

I noticed on the website for the shop that sells them, that they come in a regular and an F-Spaced version. What does F-Spaced mean, when talking about Pickups? And how do you tell if a Pickup is a Bridge Pickup or Neck Pickup, when they look identical? Hope you don't mind my questions. I just know close to nothing about Pickups...

Edit: After having looked into the Oil City Pickups, it seems those are a good option too, and at least they outright state that they can be wound for Bridge or Neck positions. I'm going to have to check out some demos of them so I'm not just buying blindly, but at least I've got two great options that fit my style now :)
