Title: Ever try Riff Raff bridge as a neck PU?
Post by: djpatb on August 10, 2026, 12:37:54 PM

Just wondered if anyone has tried a Riff Raff bridge model in the neck position on a Gibson scale guitar?
On paper the RR bridge seems to have specs that I usually enjoy in the neck (A5, 8.2k, EQ curve), when mixed with a higher powered bridge PU. Any experiences with this? Thanks.

Well, we’re interested in the same pickup, but different position!

Here’s a bump…

The Riff Raff is certainly on the brighter end of humbucker voicings, so it'll definitely work just fine in the neck position. Dynamically, the bridge will perform much like the proper neck version, as they share identical architecture and magnet setup - the bridge just has a slightly hotter wind which will fill out the lows a little and produce a touch more output, but certainly well within the realm of a great neck pickup when paired with a hotter bridge.
