The Pickup Place / Re: Help me select a neck pickup
« on: September 08, 2019, 12:04:08 AM »
I love the PAF Pro. I just decided to leave it long-term in the neck position of my latest guitar, which has an early 80s Super D in the bridge. Sometimes tried-and-true is where it's at, and the PAF Pro goes perfectly with the Super D. HOWEVER, since you are going with the AN in the bridge, I think you'll be happier with something lower output in the neck.
HFH is a pretty good idea, but I think an Air Classic might be even better for you. The AC is another tried-and-true pickup that isn't getting pushed by marketing dollars anymore, but it will give you exactly what you're looking for. Full yet clear and just enough bite.
If you want to hear the Air Classic in action, listen to Paul Gilbert's Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar album. The bulk of it was recorded with an Ibanez PGM401 with dual Air Classics, which has a neck pickup placement probably identical to your JP100D. Oh look, the instructional video for SFBDR is on Youtube now. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHdqwN_2Ga0
