Warm Fat Humbucker for a Bright, lightweight guitar

[mojo]

Hi Newbie here but would appreciate some help on a humbucker for my Huber Redwood guitar. The guitar is semi hollow and has vintage style pickups. Its a bright sounding, bell like sound acoustically and this translates through the amp. For clean its great but i use over drive quite a lot. My reference sound is Gary Moore Blues era, Aldrich and Gibbons. It's classic rock (with gain  :P). Ive recently converted from a LP and am missing that fat girthy sound. My amp is very upper mid sounding so something thats strong in the low mids i feel is the way to go. Thanks in advance

Hi there mojo, welcome!

I'd recommend looking at the Abraxas for the bridge position at least - it's fat and smooth but without sacrificing vintage character. Its DC resistance may make one think it is a hot pickup, but it retains the wide dynamic response and open voicing of a classic PAF pickup.

I think Nolly's recommendation is spot on. Maybe a Crawler would work too. I see this one as a hotter Abraxas. It's a bit more compressed, which is great for leads, but still has enough dynamics. It's balanced, round, fat, cleans up great, splits nicely. Despite the output it breezes hot PAF-character. I have the Crawler in an swampash HSS-customstrat.

I actually played some Huber guitars and they are all quite bright. That's why I am leaning more towards Crawler than Abraxas for this particular guitar but it has a lot of output which may not be the best thing for a semi hollow guitar.

I have never played one but I would consider a Black Dog for this guitar.
