Dear esteemed gentlemen,
I need a new humbucker (or maybe even a hum-sized singlecoil) for the neck position on my all-mahogany Les Paul Custom. The tone Im looking for is a bright, woody, clear clean sound where you can really hear the strings work. Kind of acoustic, like what you can get from a good singlecoil neck pickup. I dont need a 'warm' sound, clarity and definition is what I want.
I have alot of switches on this guitar and Im planning to use the pickup with either a series/paralell or coilsplit switch. So if any of you guys have any advice, it would be much appreciated. A friend suggested I use a dimarzio humbucker from hell, but those pickups dont look right in a 50's les paul.
