Single coil pup for Epiphone Wilshire?

[lhkjump]

Hi, I have a Epiphone Wilshire reissue that has Gibson Firebird pickup on bridge position. That is mini-humbucker sized one.

I think it is great (firebird pickup on bridge position)

And I feel I need single - coil sound for neck position. Mine has Epiphone stocked mini-humbucker pup on its neck position.

I googled it and found that P90, Melody Maker is kind of single-coil sound one..

but I want more brighter sound than P90.. like Fender Jaguer 62 tone on its neck position (I once had it and it was great)

So.. I am looking for…

- Single-coil sound
- Mini-humbucker sized pickup for my guitar
- Neck position

Could you recommend for me please.. Help!

Welcome. Take a look at GFS Gold Foil single coil in soapbar-sized (alnico or ferrite mag).

TV Jones makes all of their offerings in mini humbucker size. It won't get you a single coil tone, but their pickups are known for being bright and jangly.

Another option is putting a mini humbucker in parallel in the neck.
