Gibson Dirty Fingers

[UnderTheFlame83]

I have a Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker in the bridge of my Epiphone Les Paul Classic which I absolutely love. But the stock Epiphone neck has to go. What would be a good match with the Dirty Fingers? Currently wired 50s style with metric 500k CTS pots and Orange Drop caps. Looking for a good blues tone in the neck postion since the Dirty Fingers is so hot and covers pretty much all my leads. Awesome pup. The stock Epiphone alnico pro neck actually sounds pretty good in the middle postion, but neck postion could be much better, especially cleans. Thanks!

I've got a Duncan Jazz bridge pickup in the neck position. I like it a lot. It's a hotter neck pickup (8.65k) and matches my bridge pickup well. My second pick would be the '59N.

What do you want to do with the neck? And match how?

Solos? Rhythm? Both?
Match output? Tone? Both?

Or do you want a complimentary tone, or a wide ranging guitar?

A complimentary tone is what I am after.

A complimentary tone is what I am after.

SH-6N Distortion Neck

By complimentary I think an "opposite" sound from the basic: Example, a PG is complimentary to a C5.

But a Distortion neck would be in the same ballpark for the neck

I'd go with an opposite tone, like an Alnico II Pro for some warm buttery-ness.

I'd go with Gibson P-94.
