      Trick question you can't play hard rock without a bridge pickup.

      I'd stick a HB size P90 in there

            My first thought as well. Not having a bridge humbucker is going to be a real challenge, and something that can do bright is the obvious solution.

              Thus my choice of the Deathbucker. Even in the neck position with the tone rolled all the way off and a sick amount of distortion, it doesn't mud out.

                  Unlike politics where both sides are usually wrong, in this thread most people are right!

                  I like the Pearly Gate and Deathbucker ideas. Although any PAF will do doom/stoner.
                  Oh no.....


                  Oh Yeah!

                    Ok, I'll play.

                    PATB-1n. Push-push pot for series/parallel. Push-push pot for split. Outboard EQ, compressor, and then the dirt pedal/OD du jour.

                      Is "router" an option?

                        I wouldn't. Why take something that's fairly unique, and turn it into a dime-a-dozen axe? I don't think I've ever seen a single-neck LP before.

                        Which begs the question: Is this thing original? Was it made that way from Gibson?

                          I haven't seen one either, but I wouldn't play that enough to justify keeping it regardless of which pickup was installed. So that leaves router / craigslist / reverb as the only options for me.

                          I seriously doubt that it's original, and I'm not 100% sure that it isn't some sort of copy. The trussrod cover, pickup ring, and knobs aren't original, nor are the tuners (or at least the tuner buttons).

                          I've seen a few carved top LPs with a single bridge pickup, but none with only a neck pickup.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

                            Ah . . . in that case, do the router.

                              Gibson custom shop does single pickup versions, but the knobs are usually laid out as follows:



                              Oh no.....


                              Oh Yeah!

                                I can only see that guitar being good for two things Jazz or Drone. For Jazz I would put a Benedetto B6 in there and for Drone I would put a Livewire Metal in there.
