Tone conundrum, hoping for some perspective on the neck pickup of this 24-fret SG. I want woody, jazzy, warm, sweet, but still with clarity for clean chords - is this doable?
Stock 57 Classic (alnico 2) did everything I listed for lead lines, but was muddy for chords.
JB just came out, it had clarity and sweetness but not the other qualities.
PAF Pro is in there now, it has the clarity even less of the other qualities than the JB did.
The bridge pickup is also a PAF Pro which nails the woodiness/jazziness/warmth/sweetness/clarity right out of the box and is just dynamite. So I'm optimistic it can be done, just need to put the right pieces together. What do y'all think?
