24 fret guitar - throaty, vintage neck pickup?

[oilpit]

I've been eyeing a PRS Mira for some time now, they're awesome guitars...but I don't get along with 24 fret necks, IMO they kill the neck pickup tone.  However I really adore everything else about the guitar, and I might just bite the bullet and get it anyway.

If I do though, I wanna get a pickup that will sound rich, creamy, throaty and PHAT.  Nothing too modern (think Slash not Petrucci) and something that splits relatively well.  The idea is to get as close to a Les Paul tone as possible.

If it changes anything, there will probably be a Crawler, Black Dog or Abraxas in the bridge.

I would look at the Crawler-neck or maybe a BD-neck.

I have been there before and what works for me is, Holy Diver, AV Mule and Nailbomb! I have found that AV seems to sit better for the LP sound in 24 fretters, this is just my opinion.
