What bridge bucker do you think will pair well with dimarzio virtual PAF neck?

[Young Angus]

Okay i think im actually pretty sold on the idea of a virtual PAF neck in my les paul now instead of going down the fralin path just yet...and now i need to figure out the bridge to go with it.

There is always the virtual PAF bridge which would probably pair nicely but i want something kinda hottish in the bridge but not quite JB hot...im actually pretty happy with the burst bucker pro hotness that is in there at the moment, so i guess something as high as "medium" output but no greater...and definintely a warmer vintage flavour but something pretty open too.

Open to dimarzio and duncan suggestions...would actually rather go dimarzio since im getting a neck dimarzio and would probably get open coils so i want to colours to match...and will probably go double cream coils. I just dont know much about dimarzios so hopefully someone here does

I'd probably go with the Virtual Hot PAF. I haven't tried it myself, but everybody whose tried it gives glowing reviews of it.

I have a VPAF Neck and the VPAF Hot in my SG.....Great pickups!

Great to hear

How would you describe their tonal qualities...and would you have any clips of them in action in your guitar?

I don't do clips....LOL....

The VPAF N is alot like a 59N but has this cool 3d QUALITY about it...It's got strong output,very articulate and strong lows...

The VPAF Hot reminds me of a 59/Custom Hybrid...Strong articulate output,slight mid spike,strong lows,and that 3D quality in the notes...

I have a Brobucker and I'm going to try that in place of the VPAF Hot....I also am going to try a Jazz N instead of the VPAF N but I like both of these Dimarzios so I won't sell them,I'll just try the Duncans and see what works better?

I have this combo in my wolfgang special and it rocks!! The Virtual PAF and Virtual Hot compliment each other very well. Dimarzios best humbucking pickup combo in my opinion. I haven't played or heard a 59/Custom Hybrid yet so I can't compare them, but the 3-D quality that they have is very cool and different sounding (different in a good sense of the word).
