Neck pickup recommendations

[Gtrjunior]

Looking for recommendations for a neck pickup in my LP. Bridge pickup is a Custom Custom. Im looking for it to cover classic through modern rock/hard rock. Im not necessarily looking for a “metal” pickup. It’s not really my thing.
I’d like something that has a round, tubular tone under gain and a full warm clean sound.

I’ve been using a Dimarzio Bluesbucker and I like it but it’s not quite there for me. Currently I have an Air Classic, which I don’t love. It’s too thick and bassy.
I have a Fokin pickup in my Kramer Focus and it’s pretty damn near what I’m looking for. But that guitar is alder so I’m not sure if it will sound the same in a mahogany guitar?
I also have a BKP Rebel Yell that is a contender.
Im leaning towards a Dimarzio only because it want the double cream look. But I’m open to any suggestions for any brand.

Ideas??
Thanks

I’d probably try a jazz or full shred neck
Don’t let the names fool you.
dimarzio no idea. Maybe the satriani neck bucker paf Joe? I remember liking that

I think the '59 would do what you're asking.

How about the A2P or Slash...?

In no order or reasons as to why, other than I think they sound good, a 59, a 490r, a Sentient, or a Ibanez Super 70 if you can find one.

Look into EJ Custom neck or with a little less highs, the Humbucker from Hell!

I hadn’t thought of the Slash. I am a big fan of A2 mag pickups. I’ll check out some YouTube vids.

A friend had one in his LP. It did sound good.

I’ve got a Sentient in a 7 string Ibby. In that guitar at least, it isn’t what I’m looking for.
I’ll have to look into the Super 70. I know absolutely nothing about them.

The Dimarzio pickup selector picked the HfH too. I’ll have to look into both if those.

The PAF Joe sounds KILLER

59 with an A4 was the final solution for me for the above music.

Other contenders with a Custom Custom might be:
Pearly Gates neck
Whole Lotta Humbucker neck
Seth Lover
Jazz neck
A2P neck

DiMarzio 36th was good but not as clear as Duncans

These would be my suggestions. They work well with the Custom Custom, and both are warm and buttery. The Slash has a little more treble.

I ended up ordering a PAF Joe from the Dimarzio website in double cream. I hope it sounds as good as the YouTube videos I saw!!

I would have suggested maybe an SNS neck. But let us know how the Joe sounds.

Also - can we get a thread on that guitar!!!!

That is indeed a beautiful guitar!

It may just be the pic itself or some tape etc. covering part of the bobbin cover, but it looks like the lower bobbin on the PAF Joe is not straight.

I think that’s just a shadow from the pickup ring.

Could be.

That is a nice guitar.
