68 reissue les paul custom pickup swap

[Nolly]

The Abraxas neck is around 7.5kΩ, AIV magnet.
There isn't really another neck humbucker around the 10kΩ mark like the Nailbomb... If you're positive you need that output perhaps if you talk to the lads at BKP they can make you a modified NB with an adjusted wind or magnet swap to give you the fatter sound you want.

EDIT: Actually, just remembered the Emerald neck is about 9.5kΩ with an AIV mag.. I've not had a chance to compare one directly with the NB neck but perhaps that could work for you.

Nolly! are you sure that Emerald neck is AIV? I'm in the market for one and if thats the case I will go for a VHII to pair up with my Emerald bridge.

I'm fairly sure, but it might be best to check with the BKP lads themselves before changing your mind!

The Emerald neck is 9.6k AV.  The Abraxas has a 7.4k AIV neck pickup and the Crawler is a 7.6k AIV pickup (the Mule is 7.2k AII or AIV)

You are correct Nolly! Tim says AIV, and reccomends HD neck (as I prefer AV)

Well I sadly broke my nailbomb as I tried to see if the cover would look fancy and I noticed that bkp's are always a bit overwound to prevent covers to tame highs too much and it vibrated so I decided to take it off. The removal process damaged the wire I think, errrr, never try to cover a bkp, next time I'll let the pro do it.
