RTM neck pairing for custom Charvel

So...this may be a dumb question...but I’m going to put it out there anyway: I’m starting to plan a custom Charvel build as a retirement gift to myself (what can I say? I love me). I’m looking at an alder body with flamed maple top, cherry burst finish, roasted maple neck/fretboard.

I want an RTM in the bridge (possibly with a UAO5 magnet considering the alder body, not sure yet)

What would you recommend for the neck? I love the ‘59, but would like a little extra ass to pair with the RTM; something that sounds just like a ‘59 with the volume rolled back, but with extra oomph turned up would be ideal.

Any suggestions?

I appreciate it!

As an aside...I’m thinking about asking the Custom Shop if they can design those pickups to look like P90s.
 
Re: RTM neck pairing for custom Charvel

I saw an RTM Neck model on reverb just within the last 2 weeks or so I bet. It was a custom shop pickup. Never saw one before and thought it was really cool.
I think Darth Phinneas actually snagged it up if Im not mistaken.
