Title: Hotter alternative to Emerald N/Rebel Yell B?
Post by: algarridm on February 22, 2023, 04:32:58 PM

Hi!

For a les Paul, if you want a hotter set than Emerald/Rebel Yell, what HBs would you choose? (fat and round neck; mid hump and a lot of harmonics bridge)

The Nailbomb is a hotter Rebel Yell

In my experience, you can't get much more fat and round in the neck than the Emerald, it's very warm.  The VHII neck is also on the warm side but I felt that it had more output, if that's what you're looking for. 

The Nailbomb is definitely a hotter Rebel Yell, though.
