PG or 59 neck

[big kurka]

Looking for a neck pu to match the screaming demon. The description says 59 or jazz but looking at the eq chart it seems like the PG matches better. The guitar is a solo6 with a floyd rose and is a very warm sounding piece of wood, almost to warm. What do you think???

Another Screamin' Demon. It makes a great neck pickup too. I use it in both spots in a HH setup myself. It's oriented in the neck spot the same as in the bridge spot, with the screw poles facing the bridge.

'59 to wake that thing up.

I'd say a Jazz here. If the guitar is warm, I'd pick a pickup without much warmth at all, and that's the Jazz.

if not a neck Demon, then Jazz, IMO

Don't go by EQ charts. Go by descriptions from people who own the pickup and have played it in guitars/amps similar to yours.

If too warm means you don't want the pickup to be too warm then the full shred is the most cutting and a good match to the demon. If you want a standard neck hum sound then just go by the tone you like the best. The 59 is the fattest, the pg and jazz have about the same amount of bass but they all have different tone. 59 sounds gibson-y, pg sounds kind of stratty for a humbucker, and the jazz is neutral hollow and modern sounding.

The WLH neck is another option that would work too. Not as boomy as a 59 neck. Sounds sweeter too. But, I stand by another Demon in the neck. I love that setup with it in the bridge too.

Thanks everyone for all the responses.

I've been doing some thinking and I have a older schecter extended scale 26.5 guitar that has a set of duncan distortions in it. Since I don't play that guitar I was considering taking the distortion set out of that guitar and put them in my Solo 6 with the floyd rose.

So the question is do you think the distortion set would work in my solo 6 fr being that its a very warm sounding almost flat sounding
guitar. I'm hoping to use the guitar for early heavy metal type music like wasp, judas preist, motley crue and newer heavy chug chug type stuff and big drive bombs.
Thanks again everyone

Should definitely work, and the price is certainly right.

The Distortion set would be a good choice, too. If you do that, come back to let us know how it turns out.

I'm generally an alnico guy, but I recently fell in love with the Distortion set all over again.
Hadn't played my Mayhem-loaded guitar in several years. It was glorious.

Eclecticsynergy that’s great to hear. I hope these pickup help with guitar I’m putting them. It’s a Schecter solo 6 Floyd rose hell raiser that I’ve had for over 12 years. It’s a beautiful guitar but I could never get it to sound good. It just might be a dead piece of wood .

Certain guitars really are dead wood and won't ever come alive. But IME that's pretty rare.
Some are simply much pickier than most when it comes to pickups.
If the guitar feels lively and plays well, I think it's likely just a matter of finding the right match.

Distortions are hot & chunky yet they also have plenty of sizzle - very good choice for a warm guitar.
Hope they work as well in yours as they do in mine.

You could make a guitar out of 2x4 put a Distortion set on it and it would sound good through an amp.

A Distortion set will absolutely work for that - My favorite pickup, and my favorite music.
