Okay I need suggestions for a neck pickup for my new Carvin

[Xeromus]

Mahogany neck and body, set neck, Carvin CT3M, 22 fret.

JB is definately going in the bridge. As for the neck, I don't know if I'm going to use a Jazz, '59, or Alnico II pro. I've used the Jazz and '59 and like them both, the AIIP, I haven't tried yet. Keep in mind it has to be 4 conductor because I'm going to have a push/pull coil tap installed also. What would match well with a JB? Sound good in this guitar?

I'm heavily leaning toward the '59n, but I could use suggestions.

I think I'd go A2P, I'm not a big fan of the other two.

Does the body have any type of top wood on it, and what wood are you using for the fretboard?

The CT3M is a solid mahogany body with an ebony fretboard and tunamatic string thru bridge. Unless of course you optioned for a different fretboard wood.

I would go with the 59n as well. It's an all around great pickup, and very versatile with a coil split.
