Re: Favorite -go to- neck humbucker
Had a bunch over the years have a bunch now in guitars but hands down mine is the Duncan Sentient. Simply the best bell like big clear clean tones I have ever gotten from any humbucker + is really nice at gain with clear defined articulate tones that have depth without being muddy or overly compressed and really sing for solos.
Also like the Duncan 59 with a A4 mag a lot as well as the Alnico II pro for fat blues the H60A EMG and the Dimarzio Liquifire for really fat sweet woman tones and split.

EMG 81
Black Winter Neck.
I can never make the typical 7-8K humbucker work for me as a neck pickup, personally. I always find them too scooped, chirpy, and, most of all, underpowered compared to the style of bridge pickups that I like.
I do like the Phat Cat Neck's clean tone, especially since it's spanky, clean, and not boomy, but it's not thin like a Fender-style single coil (or a split humbucker) can be. I feel it wouldn't be able to keep up with the Black Winter-B or the SH-6B that I like, though.

Either a Bill Lawrence L500R or a Bill Lawrence L45S--depending on H or S routing. Amazing articulation and never muddy.
Honorable mentions: SD Screamin Demon or a DMZ Liquifire

Don't tell anybody, but I just bought a full set of S45s for a special experiment with active electronics. I don't think I've seen anything along the lines of what I'm doing anywhere on the internet. More to follow in later weeks.
