Neck pickup w/ good highs for AC/DC tones?

[debutvm]

I have a gibson sg standard with a tony iommi in the bridge. I love the tony iommi sig pup for metal but doesn't have enough highs to play ac/dc tones. What would be a good pup for the neck that would fit my needs?

Full shred perhaps? AC/DC isn't a "neck" pup kind of band. You'll really need to push the highs if that's what you want from the neck. I'm not optomistic about this...

Is there a good way to get more highs out of my iommi pup?

I don't know much about the iommi pup. I do know that he had a monster treble boost pedal or some such thing. Might be a false assumption that his pups were bright...

Angus had a neck pup? Did Malcolm have one, too? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way????

Considering Angus and Malcolm love old stock models and in their interviews they used the Angus Young/57 Classic while Malcolm uses Grestsch, hmmmmmm

Go Angus/57 Classic - I liked my Angus model.

I would also say consider the 57 or Jazz because they are brighter.


EDIT: I highly recommend finding an old, original T TOP - it has that sweet bright tone right in there!
