Title: my first bkp neck
Post by: oceansandatlantic on October 10, 2015, 04:50:50 AM

okay guys i have 2 guitars that need a neck pickup.

1 is a fender jim root telecaster with a juggernaut bridge ebony board, mahogony body (no tone control)

2 is a fender classic player jaguar hh with a holy diver bridge rd board and the coil split feature.

 i have a dimarzio titan i could fit in one of the two if i just find a match for the other

i play alot of post hardcore/alternative/ rock.

if you have a Titan, install it first.  try it in both guitars.  that could give you and idea of what's going on and where to go from there.  since the AM neck was way too loose and thunderous (rather than tight), I just checked out a Titan neck to go with the Titan bridge.  I like the direction Jake Bowen went with his signature DiMarzio set.  if you like the Titan, but would like something just slightly more open feeling while still being very tight, check out the DiMarzio Illuminator.

I would suggest having a look at our Alnico Nailbomb set. From your description the Nailbomb would be great for you.

We've had lots of happy customers putting Nailbombs in Jim Root Telecasters.

How do you find the Jaguar, what are it's tonal characteristics?
