A good shred neck pickup

[archaikz]

Im looking for a really good neck humbucker pickup to accomodate a Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a Duncan Hot Rails in the middle. I just cant think of what to get. I've searched the forums but I cant seem to get a good answer. I need something that is very good for fast runs on the lower strings and good for sweep picking. I liked my duncan hot rails when it was in the neck but im looking for something a big similiar maybe in the neck in humbucker size. thanks for any help. the neck pickup is very important to me thats why im trying to get the best support. I like to go clean with my pickup to alot. Cause i love the clean sound on the neck. thanks for any help.

Wait, are you looking for a single coil size or HB size in the neck?

The Jazz cleans up nicely

The full shred is an excellent pickup for that application, as is the dimarzio air norton.

I'd say the Jazz... designed for fast, clean runs, very articulate, retains definition when distorted.

PAF Pro, created for shred. perfect.

+1 to PAP Pro. A little boomy at times and I kinda have a love/hate relationship with it. It really rewards articulate fingers. Air norton is another good choice.

PAF PRO, SD JAZZ, AIR NORTON, VIRTUAL PAF NECK or BRIDGE MODEL
hmmm you could try the 59, I wouldnt bet on it though

Another vote here for the Jazz. The Jazz also splits nice, giving a very nice
gooey SC sound in the neck. Add distortion and you can get a little bit
of a Scott Henderson thing. I don't know if you have auto splitting in
the 2 and 4 positions, but they would sound great with those fat pickups.

FullShred neck IS FOR shredding. It's the clearest pickup I ever heard in the bridge position at least. I don't see how you can go wrong with it. You may want to split it if it's too powerful sometimes.
