- Kramer "Claw" Neck

- Head Guitars Mahogany Single Humbucker Tele Body (will Oil Finish) & “Jackson” Neckplate



- Floyd of some type

Right on time to ask Mr Jackson for advice next week.
Should be an interesting build.

Best Overall Humbucker for a Maple Board Mahogany Bodied Floyd Rose Equipped Guitar?

I'd like some meat to it, some bottom end and mid-range, not just treble and mid-treble...

Pearly Gates Trembucker?

Custom Custom Trembucker?

You want a Custom 8. The CC might sound too compressed in mahogany. I didn't like it at all. It all depends on your taste though.

If it's a Maple Board Floyd Guitar, I usually use a DiMarzio Tone Zone F, but looking for something different on this one.

Was also considering the EVH Frankenstein (don't really want to do a Non F Spaced Pickup) or a Rio Grande BBQ.

Custom 8 huh? I'll have to check the SD Site for that model. Thanks for the recommendation

I don't believe it's on the official site because Duncan don't actually make it. It's something that's come about through experimentation on these boards. If you go the pickup lounge and do a search for 'Custom 8 Paradise' you should find all the information you need.

Personally, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's an awesome pickup.

Nice! That's a killer looking axe. Got completed pics anywhere on here?

It should be cool when it's done!

I used to have a Rio Grande BBQ/Texas set. If you're looking for fat and sizzling PAF humbucking tones, give it a shot! Typically I wouldn't recommend the BBQ in strictly a mahogany body (because it is a darker, more compressed sounding pickup), but with the maple neck giving it a snap, it just may give you that low mid emphasis you're looking for without being muddy.

Absolutely right...I've got a set in my Mahogany Bodied First Act Lola and love 'em!

Well...it appears...

that I'll be building this out...hopefully it will go well with the Vintage Kramer "Claw" Neck that I just picked up. :toast
