Title: BKP Abraxas vs Dimarzio AT1- also neck p/u recommendations plz?
Post by: Nez on August 16, 2012, 10:38:58 AM

Hello to the forum :)

I've just purchased myself a new Ibanez Sabre (mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fb, zr trem) and I was originally going to put Andy Timmons sig bridge pickup into it but I was recently turned onto BKP by a trusty google search. I did my homework last night and I see people recommend the Abraxas a lot for that vocal AT tone.  How would people say these compare?

Also having an HSH guitar, I'm looking for a middle and neck pickup that provides good balance with the bridge for splitting 5way. For the neck though I'm focussing towards the cleaner side of the spectrum for ultimate versatility. More or less like Andy Timmons himelf does.

Cheers all :D
