Trying to get the right pick-ups

Re: Trying to get the right pick-ups

Welcome to the forum!

The thing is I play the rhythm guitar and my purpose is to find a bridge pick-up with high gain and a very aggressive sound to play heavy rhythms and riffs

Duncan Distortion

For the neck position I want a radically different sound, ‘cos my aim is to be able to play clean and warm riffs.

59'

Re: Trying to get the right pick-ups

I'm not sure about combining the '59n with the Distortion. The Distortion neck model sounds really cool and will get you a nice clean and warm sound that stays defined under distortion. I'd also recommend the Jazz neck. It's not necessarily a jazz pickup at all- it's nice and clear and plays well with high output pickups.

Anyway, I think either a Distortion set or a Custom/Jazz set would work well. The Custom/Jazz lineup is a little lower output and a little cleaner and snarlier.

Re: Trying to get the right pick-ups

A distrtion bridge and a 59 neck is what i use in one of my guitars. They sound great together and match up well as a pair. It's my go to guitar for Priest,Dokken,Ozzy kind of tones.
