Neck pick up for Mahogany
« on: September 18, 2014, 01:41:10 AM »
I have a Parker all Mahogany guitar. Big and Warm sounding naturally. I am installing a black hawk bridge pick up next week and need a neck pick up to go in as well. From what I read, the black hawk neck pick up may be too warm and "big".

I like a fluid and sparkly neck pick up. I play shred, metal, clean, etc.

A little help and reasons why please.  :evil:

I am sure many will recommend the Cold Sweat neck. My preference in neck humbuckers is clearly the Holydiver neck as it has less bass and stays clearer under gain.

Cold Sweat's a no brainer for me.  Still meant to be 'the shred neck pickup' and it works better in mahogony.
