Re: Maple/Mahogany and Single coils? AlnicoII?
Ok for the hendrix and well hell everything u just mentioned i would use two woodstock kinman single coil's for your neck and mid(no hum, actually sound like real single coils, and sound better then fralins in my oppinion, and would make a intresting match with your wood disicision) and for the bridge i'd go with the pearly gates.

Re: Maple/Mahogany and Single coils? AlnicoII?
I really like Alnico 5 single coils for vintage blues/hendrix sorta stuff. Alnico 2s are good, but lack the quack and highs I hear in the vintage blues tones. If it were me id put SSL-1s or Ant. Surfers in there, but theres nothing wrong with Aps's.

Maple/Mahogany and Single coils? AlnicoII?
Hi,
new to this forum. Need some opinions about pickups vs Tonewood
Am putting together a Warmoth LPS or VIP 3/4" Maple on top of Mahogany.
Probably Mahogany neck with Pau Ferro Fretboard. Bolt-on
Planning on H-S-S pickups Bridge to neck (NEck and Middle RW/RP)
Play mostly Grateful Dead, Funk, Some Blues thru a Mesa/Boogie IIC+
Like Vintage Sounds, but need that Garcia/Hendrix Neck Single coil sound most of all. Already have a Strat. Need this guitar to cover alot of ground
Can any one comment on Single Coils on basically a Les Paul body.
Thank You for any help you can give
