Does this humbucker exist?

[homer_simps1]

I’m looking for a humbucker for the neck position of a Schecter (Body: Mahogany / Flame Maple)C1+.

I play mostly fusion/shred/progressive with a little bit of blues spliced in.

So basically, something that can be split and sound like a single coil (stratish), but has lushness for fusion and clarity for progressive shred.

That’s a lot to ask for but it has to exist, dang it.

NOTE-I currently have a JB in the bridge.

If you didn't say shred I'd recommend the A2P. Very responsive, saturates well (IMO) and it is versatile in its sound. Although for a Mahogany body A5 is probably better.



Useless response!

So I've got one vote for Demon, Jazz and A2P.

Why isn't the A2P good for shred? I do incorporate a good amount of it into my style, at least I try to. Not very good at it, but I'm still learning.

Anyhoo...that's too bad, the A2P is one I've been considering.

The A2P is what we call a 'low output pickup'. It's just not as strong as your average shred metal pickup has to be. It's good for jazz, blues and more subtle music, but it's definitely not shred metal material. GnR metal, maybe but not Slipknot/Vai/Avenged Seventhricefold or whatever the Hell it is metal. So consider it, but if you play very loud, aggressive metal alot, it's probably not your #1 choice.

The A2P has Alnico 2 magnets, which aren't as strong as, say, Ceramic magnets or an Active pickup.

It depends on your amp. If your running through an EVH stack, an AII Pro would be great. And since when is GnR considered metal ? lol
