Title: Nantucket vs. Blue Note
Post by: XxpapertigerxX on October 16, 2011, 04:39:50 AM

I'm very interested in either of these pickups for the neck position of a semi-hollow body guitar I have. The guitar has a nice, deep tone, but it also has fairly prominent high end attack as well. I'm going to use the neck exclusively for cleans, so I'm wondering how the two pickups compare in that regard. Thanks.

I am in a similar situation.

I have a solid-body korina guitar with 2 "Duncan designed" P-90s. I'd like to try either the Nantuckets or Blue Notes in it--I think they'd retain the mid-focused attitude of the guitar with just a bit more of an open, vintage character. The problem is, I can't decide on which set. Right now I'm leaning towards a Nantucket bridge and Blue Note neck. This appeals to me because I usually use the bridge for mid-gain indie rock and the neck position for chimey clean chord work. I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions on these two pickup models.

There's limited info about these neckpickups on the forum. Roland, I guess you like the sweet tones of alnico II (Bluenote) for the neck.

I'm about to get a nantucket bridge + blue note neck for a studio 60s tribute.

For clean tones, i'd go for blue note.
