Maple topped Black Korina body, Wenge Ebony Neck humbucker suggestions!

[AuroraTide]

Hey everyone, like the title says I'm in need of suggestions for what humbuckers to put in my next guitar. Spec wise its Black Korina with a Birdseye maple top with a Wenge neck with Ebony fretboard. I'm after a big rock n roll crunch tone ala Slash, Jimmy Page, The Darkness etc. I've been a single coil player for the last few years and don't really know where to start in my search.

I've seen on here that Seth Lovers sound great in Korina and from the youtube clips I"ve seen it does sound good... Hoping you guys have a few alternatives for me to check out!

That guitar could be very similar to a LP, as long as the wood sizes match. Seths or the PG set would be nice, or maybe the WLH set. The latter is a bit hotter, so would do the hard rock stuff well.

Awesome thanks for the reply! Ordered the majority of the pieces this weekend so now it's on to the waiting process..... NGD thread when she's all together!

alnico 2 pro slash works in my guitar with exactly those woods. but the screaming demon works great too.
