Tim recommended me a Mule neck and Riff Raff bridge pickup...but I'm more thinking about a calibrated set of Cold Sweats to tighten things up with better cut, clarity and power through all the heavy mahogany. I've also heard the Cold Sweats are great in neck through guitars.
I see where you're coming from - I think I'd want a bit of extra power to cut through that huge mass of maple and mahogany.
Those Yamahas really are beautiful, I'd rather have one than a Les Paul right now (although I'll probably change my mind next week :roll: ). I can't buy one though, they're just too heavy for me.
