Which pups for PRS McCarty

[kingbee]

I'm playing a PRS McCarty. Which pups would get me closest to Warren Haynes' tone? I'm considering using an APH-1 Alnico II Pro in the neck position. What would work well with this in the bridge position?

Re: Which pups for PRS McCarty

Any good PAF style pickup will get you there. My personal favorites are te Pearly Gates and the Seth Lover. The Seth will be smoother and rounder while the Pg will have a slight bump in the upper mids and have a snarl in the top end. I'd go Seth's for a brighter sounding McCarty and PG's for a darker sounding McCarty.

benjys advice is good. i think an aph neck and pg would be a cool combo as well. haynes has used pgs to get some of my favorite tones so thats a great place to start.
****ey betts used to use a pgn in the neck of his mcarty
