What non-WLH Neck pickup are you liking with your WLH Bridge?

[Swampy]

I'm thinking of keeping an old Dimarzio PAF in the neck for now, but was wondering what others have in their necks that match well with their WLH bridge pups in mahogany H/H guitars.

I'm thinking of doing similar; rewiring my LP with a '59 neck and '59/C Hybrid bridge. I also have a WLH set lined up for my 335. I very much suspect that the '59 will have to go once I get used to the WLH neck.

Pearly Gates or Jazz would work well, but depends on kind of music, guitar, amp, etc.

there are other options if doing heavy music, but I don't have experience with them.

'09 Les Paul Studio, Fender Blues Deluxe Re-issue & Orange OR-15 (set on lower gain). Classic rock-ish stuff to a harder Rock.

I've got a Jazz neck in my Samick Paul copy and it's a bit boomy for my taste (different guitar, I know). I do have an A5 magnet I could throw in it to maybe tame that.

A Jazz should already be an A5. I think an A3 might be the next level to tame it. Or an A4. I have an A3 Skinner neck and it is like a Jazz with the top and bottom tamed a bit.

My bad, I meant A2.

That would transform your SH-2N into one of these.

Jazz too boomy and you don't like the results from swapping magnets, then consider The Humbucker From Hell or the Full Shred.

I was so excited to buy a set of WLH when they were released, but they were a huge disappointment, really dark and sterile sounding in my Sunburst LP
I swapped them out for a set of SD CS Pearly Gates wound by MJ and I couldn't be happier, they are incredible pickups
I'm just not an A5 mag guy, to me A5 always sound sterile and one dimensional, with no mids
A2 is musical and full to my ears, and sound like PAFS should

I've used it with the APH-1, and it worked great. You get a nice round tone when you want it in the nec position, and some PAF edginess when you want it, too. The blend is good as well.

For me, it matched pretty well (quite convincingly) with a 59 neck in both a 22 fret Les Paul and a 21 fret stratocaster. In the strat it sounded more "matched" but in the Les Paul it's more of that traditional PAF's aren't matched but work great together, I bet it would be pretty comfortable with most PAF's.

Old thread here, but I'll jump in too. In my Les Paul, I have an UOA5 WLH in the bridge matched with a Gibson "Page Bucker" spec in the neck (i.e. Burstbucker 2 w/A3 magnet). :banana:
