  • What Bridge pup in Mahogany body w/ maple cap

    I'm getting a mahogany body guitar with a maple cap (maple neck/rosewood fretboard).
    Which bridge pickup would be the best for a balanced rock to hard rock sound.
    I want nice response like a dimebucker but without the shrillness i.e balanced.
    Good for soloing and good for power chords. I've read the JB/Cutom debate but it didn't really help me decide.

    Any ideas?

    I love to stick with pickups within the PAF specs...Some great examples would be...The Antiquity,Seth Lover,PG,or a 59...These pickups retain note clarity...

    Up from there would be a C5 or the Scremon Demon,though the SD seems better suited and more popular with strats..

    I Love the Pearly Gates in both positions though and others are going to agree with me on this statement I Know....

      I love the PG set for pretty much any style of music. If you need high output from the bridge, the PGn and CC combo would work well.
      Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

        I vote for the 59
        Warm, Balanced, and seems to have just the right amount of output, at least to my ears. ...........
