So what kind of bridge pickup do you think would be good for this guitar?

[75lespaul]

I was considering a Dimarzio Mo'Joe because I had one on another Les Paul and it screamed, but I think I need a pickup to cover a broader spectrum. The guitar is an Agile AL-3100, mahogany body and neck, maple top, albeit 1/16 thick--does that even count, lol. It is a Les Paul shaped guitar, set neck. I wanted something hot, but not blazing hot. We cover stuff from Led Zeppelin to Alice in Chains just to give an example. Would the Mo'Joe be a good pickup here? It absolutely screamed for solos, and sounded good for chords but just a tad thin if you know what I mean. What kind of bridge pickup would fit this would and give a nice fat rhythm and screaming leads? I'm not worried about the neck for now mainly because I can't afford two pickups. Thanks, bros!

Yeah, a Custom in the bridge. And something A2 for the neck, when you get to it.

If money's tight, I installed a GFS VEH in the bridge and GFS Classic II Alnico 2 in the neck slot of an Agile AL-3010 for a client. That was a good combo. I'd also recommend the GFS Crunchy PAT in the bridge.

I have a GFS 59 in the bridge of my Epiphone LP also has a thin maple top and I love it.

A Custom can be had used here most of the time. It's definitely what I would recommend for that sort of music.

Thanks for the replies. The general consensus seems to be the Duncan Custom. I have always wanted to try the Custom, so I'll keep an eye out for a used one. If I can't score one that I can afford, I may just fallback on a Super Distortion because you can always score one of those real cheap if you look for stuff with short leads or needing a little love. I'm going to cover it anyway, so the color doesn't matter.
