Dimarzio and Duncan together

[JamesPaul]

The Custom/Jazz was my first test in my 1996 Les Paul. That combo has been in there ever since.

I like the 59n and Jazz n, but I also like the Distortion n and the D-Activator n. Those last two pair very well with a powerful bridge pickup.

Actually, any PAF-type is great in the neck: PG, Jazz, 59, WLH, SNS, etc.

I tried a '59 and Alnico II Pro before settling on the Jazz. I've had the Custom/Jazz combo in my Explorer since 2003, and I installed them in my (new at the time) Blue/Green SG last year.

Thanks! I've always wanted to try a Custom in the bridge and wasn't sure what a good neck match might be, so that is very helpful!

I could easily go with a 59, an A2P, a Jazz, or a PG, or even a Distortion neck or 59/Custom hybrid, depending on what I wanted and the guitar.

I really like it.

The PG is a little sweeter on top than a 59, and has an upper mid cut that really puts it through.

The Custom is a hot scooped humbucker .

The two make a nice pair. Both PAF-ish, but different. It's a greater range of style than just two 59's, a 59 and 59/custom hybrid, etc...

Any kind of PAF and a SuperD is a great all around combo! Guitars I have like that:

73 LP PAF/SuperD
79 LP T-Top/Duncan D
Cadillac PG/Custom

Tell me more about that PG/Custom combo.

Super D sounds iconic in just about about anything.
59N is vintagey-clear and fat enough for 24-fretters.

Both have stood the test of time - classics for good reason.

I had this combo in a Strat years ago and it was awesome. Full and clear neck sound and a muscular, thick bridge sound.

edit: the Super Distortion turns (turned?) 50 this year!

[dave74]

Sounds like a great combo to me.

Crisp but still thick and mid-snarly classic hard-rock/metal from the bridge, and a great organic clean and more vintage lead tone from the neck.

Wasnt creme/black Zebra a Dimarzio trademark or something?

Double creme is the DiMarzio trademark.

Nice. I like the zebra neck with the black bridge.

Thanks. The color and flame reminded me of the original Gary Moore dig Les Paul, so I got the idea from that. Here’s a better long shot.
