Neck pickup to fit well with an Alternative 8

Re: Neck pickup to fit well with an Alternative 8

Folks, you should take a look at the OP's pic. It's 24 fretter.

You should take a bridge pup go with the Alt8 in order to compensate the position. My recommendation therefore is the jazz bridge or a demon. The c5 might be too bassy.

Yes, it's a 24-fretter. But I had to cut some extra space in the body, as the original neck only has 22 frets...
That also meant I had to reroute the neck pickup cavity, effectively moving it closer to the bridge pickup. That cavity has been rerouted (enlarged), too, as the JTK30 originally had soapbar pickups. And that routing has been done towards the neck position. So both pickups will be closer than normal for a HH setup...
