Match for WLH Bridge?

[BenPerkins]

Hi, I’ve got a WLH bridge I want to put in an Epiphone Les Paul. For neck pups I’ve currently got a PRails Neck, ‘59 neck and mini humbucker (SM-1N). Would one of these be appropriate, or should I get something like a SNS Neck or other pup? I play stuff like Zeppelin and 60’s/70’s rock.

Thank you.

Of the pickups you have, try the '59 and see how you like it first.

Some find the '59 neck to "boomy" or dark, but it remains a favorite neck pickup.

I'd use the mini hum for the neck to mix with the WLH. The WLH bridge is warmed by the RCA5 magnet and the 59 has a bit of a tubby low end to it. The WLH bridge needs a neck pickup that will put some chime back into the mix. I used to keep my WLH neck wired in parallel for this. If you are open to buying another neck pickup, a Jazz or Seth would do well also.

Yeah, the 59 is a great choice. Even the P-Rails would be cool with some switching options. You already have them, so it is worth investigating both.
