I'd like to get a new neck pickup. Single sized humbucker

[archaikz]

I have a hot rails on it right now but im just not that satisfied with how distorted it gets. Its awsome clean and really fat distorted which I like..It just doesnt get distorted as I like from my duncan distortion in the bridge. I mean I really like it and if there is nothing that much better then it then I would definitly keep it. If theres anything that seymour duncan or dimarzio makes that would give a more distorted tone but still keep a little bit of clean in there but still kind of fat like the hot rails. Thanks for any help..

i think you are out of luck... the hotrail is the hottest single sized humbucker that duncan makes. You could try the Duncan performer Scorcher rails - it measures at twice the resistance of the hotrail. it is definitely the hottest pickup in the duncan catalog. The duncan performer series are available at guitar center and musicians friend and are roughly $30 a piece.

The DiMarzio FastTrack2 is amazingly fat and powerful.

You could try the bridge version of the hotrails in the neck... It's a bit hotter.

All of these are good suggestions for more distortion, but keep in mind that you will lose clarity; not to mention much of your clean tonality.
