I may be wrong, but I think Akerfeldt switched to single coils for the latest Opeth album and some of the sounds on there are pretty damned heavy.
Would echo the Biffy comment too, its not on every song by any means but when he wants hi gain by feck can he get it.

The p90s are mostly with Firebird and Gents Pistols.
Sorry ... I'm only being cheeky. Clearly not a huge number of heavy rock / metal players on here though.

Maybe not ultra-high gain by modern standards, but still absolutely bonecrushing.

I love his tone with The Skids, a tone I aspired to as a kid. It took me many, many years to figure out he was tuned down to D
