i bought a used '98 sunburst les paul and the neck pickup has a fault. i figured this would be a great time to upgrade to some seymour duncan A2's. at first i was thinking of an APH-1n and pearly gates bridge combo but that was before i heard the sound comparison with the slash signatures. those things had the balls i'm looking for in a bridge and it matches what i play (gn'r, 70s rock, and the blues). I'm almost set on a slash model for the bridge and the only thing that's holding me back from committing to a slash model for the neck is that everyone here seems to die for the pearly gates in that spot. at the same time, i set the aph-1's aside considering the slash model is similar but slightly more aggressive. some people have said the slash is too heavy for the neck, some say the PG are too bright for the neck, so i know opinions differ. it wouldn't be wise for me to buy without hearing other's feedback which is why i came here. and lastly, i read the slash's complement each other perfectly. would the PGn balance well with slash in the bridge?
by the way, can you tell i like slash...
