Fattest, crunchiest neck PU for a 7

Audiocide · 11-22-2007, 08:15 AM

I need a FAT sounding neck PU. By fat, I mean Gibson PAF neck fat. I play strictly leads on the neck PU, and don't use a ton of gain, so note seperation is not an issue. Nice cleans are welcome, but I rarely use full humbucking mode on cleans so bear that in mind.

I tried an Air Norton, albeit on a much thinner sounding 7321 body, and it just wasn't fat, or crunchy enough. Too glassy, and hollow for my tastes.

The SD Jazz is a big no-no obviously.

I'm considering the Blaze neck or PAF 7. What's your opinions of them?

Try the SD SH59-7. I love Duncan's PAF sound. Full, fat, liquidy, splits nicely, not too high gain, but just enough for me.

My $.02

PAf7 - its the crunchiest and lowest output neck pup. Its totally awesome. Im also selling a pair of them

Blaze Neck by far has the best fat lead tones!

Duncan -59 is a nice neck pickup but I absolutely love the
BK Cold Sweat I have in the neck of my Carvin 7.
That thing just sings.
