humbucker quest

[em07189]

Hi!

I'm searching for a humbucker with the following specs:

Fat tone but tight or super tight, with definition, clarity and warmer sound, mid to high output, good harmonics.

What are your recommendations?

I'm thiking of putting it in a mahogany guitar, with rosewood fingerboard, fixed bridge.

What guitarbrand or is it a custom build? Bassy, neutral or quite bright sounding guitar? Styles?

For now I would say Diver.

Extreme side of fat, tight, warm  and high gain could be the Warpig.

Juggernauts are pretty fat. They are definitely tight and modern voiced. They are really versatile and can do clean to high gain well. The Ragnaroks sound really fat from the demos I’ve heard as well.

I would say that the best choices here would be the Juggernaut, (alnico) Black Hawk, Miracle Man, Holy Diver, and maybe the (alnico) Warpig.

Which one of these works best would depend on your guitar.  If it is an SG or similarly-voiced mahogany guitar I would recommend the Miracle Man or Warpig (or even an Impulse, but that has less output - basically you want to avoid pickups that emphasise mids in an SG); if it is a thicker, darker instrument I think it would be a matter of personal preference.  I don't have personal experience of the Juggernaut and Holy Diver but I know they can deliver the warmer tones you are looking for.  The BH, MM, and WP can definitely deliver the harmonics.
