Exactly how different is a Jazz neck compared to an A2P neck?

[Young Angus]

I know these pickups are different, but they are both a pickup that im considering for a neck les paul pickup.

In what ways would people describe their differences?

the aph2 is darker and more touch-sensitive...the jazz is clearer and brighter. I like the aph2.

I have an APH-1 in my Les Paul because I like the smoothness and touch-sensitivity. That being said, I have a Jazz in the neck of all my other humbucker guitars because it simply can't be beat for versatility. I also like how it can sound very Strat-like depending on playing technique.

So the jazz is actually good for Jazzy stuff, funnily enough. Being clearer and brighter and all.
