Seth Lover or Antiquity for neck position on alder strat?

[appar111]

I'm looking for a super fat, warm organic neck humbucker tone for the neck position on my alder hardtail strat w/ maple neck & fretboard. Mostly high gain, fuzzed out, very pushed sounds (like Blues Saraceno's neck position sounds on alot of his Dirty Boy pedal demos).

Which would be the better choice for this? Or am I splitting hairs at this point since they're both low output, unpotted A2 humbuckers?

You would probably do better with the Seth but why not just go with his signature pup the PATB-3 Blues Saraceno?

That's really more of a bridge pickup isn't it?

It's a hardtail and a neck position that I'm trying to fill. I'm worried that since the pickup was designed more for trem equipped guitars, it'd end up sounding too muddy. Well, that and the PATB-3 would look ugly in this guitar

Blues used it in both the bridge and neck positions. As for looks yes not everyone cares for it.

Ant's are the warmer of the two. Seth's seem to have more fans here than Ant's.

I love both antiquities and seths, I think the ants are warmer on the top end
