Charvel Guthrie Govan - Pickup Suggestions needed.
« on: December 15, 2022, 12:43:05 AM »
Hey Everyone...  Question for the group.   Thinking of changing the Bridge pickup in my Charvel GG (Basswood Body, roasted maple neck), and want to do a set so they match (Zebra).     It's got Holy Diver set in it now, and they sound great, but thinking maybe a little more modern (but not over the top hot).   I think the Polymath would be the right fit, but i'm a bit worried about the Neck Polymath and the rated DC output.   I really like classic PAF neck pickups, the Holy Diver neck is great, but I did swap the magnet for an Alnico 2 bar and that improved it.   

Should I stick with the Polymath Neck?  Or go with maybe a Mule or Emerald Neck?  I've heard great things about those pickups.  Would the Polymath bridge overpower the Mule neck?   I currently have a trilogy single in the middle, and it's good, but thinking something a little less hot too, maybe slow hand?   

Thanks in advance for the advice!
