Buying A New Guitar And Had A Few Questions?

I am looking at a few different higher end guitars 800$ + (Higher end for me) and I was wondering if using emg closed pickups would be better for pinch harmonics than a Double Humbucking pickup that is open. I was looking at a Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR and also the Scecter Synyster Custom. It is being used for metal and is being run through a few metal and other boss pedals of mine. Let me know Thanks.

Been playing for 17+ yrs and I’m still a newbie when it comes to guitar tech. But I have been researching a little bit as I’ve been wanting a really good guitar (gibson les paul, PRS, or an Ibanez JEM). I was tempted by the Schecter because of the mahogany body and the fairly affordable tag.
When I think of pinch harmonics, immediately I think of Zakk Wylde. So i guess his guitar specs might be the key.
Hmm… I really don’t know if there is much of a difference. I’m mainly a bassist, so I might not know best. But I do know that Schecter guitars are used very extensively in metal. So that might be your answer right there.
i would get a jackson they are amazing designed especially for metal i think they have emg pick ups im not sure
