Please recommend neck pickup

[Steve R.]

What would you guys suggest for a good neck pickup to complement a Duncan Custom in the bridge? Music style is hard rock and mainstream metal. Also some Dream Theater-type stuff.

Thanks,
Steve

Most popular choices are 59 and Jazz. Since you use a lot of gain and the 59 frequently gets muddy under distortion, I'd recommend a Jazz.

id say a jazz or full shred neck would work well for you. the fs is a little more focused and cuts thru even with loads and loads of gain while the jazz is more balanced
