I have a Jackson Soloist SL2HT and I really like the sound of the neck pickup for solo, lead and rythm much better than the JB in the bridge so I think I will replace it for a 59 Bridge. I saw on duncan website that they work better with mahogany body and my jackson has maple neck thru. Does it fit?

Re: Anyone try a '59 Bridge in a Jackson Soloist
In my opinion, the '59 mixes better with guitars that don't have too much going on during the tone, such as a neck-through. Your impression of your neck pickup reinforces that.
I'd say go for it. There might be a chance that a Custom 5 comes out best, though.Last edited by uOpt; 12-15-2007, 10:45 PM.

The Soloist with strings through body bridge have too much sustain anyway! What I don't like about the JB is it's kind of fuzzy sounding in a high gain amp like my 6505. The 59 neck retain alot of clarity and take distortion very well with big low end punch. I hope it will do that in the bridge too. Mark Morton use it in studio and I saw a video on youtube with his signature guitar (all mahogany neck thru) in front a Mark IV and it sound pretty big. Hope it will do that king of sound in my soloist.
