Howdy! I'd like your suggestions for a neck pickup for my Les Paul. I got an Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro IV for a holiday gift. It weighs a lot. Not weight relieved. Mahogany neck and body with a solid maple cap, not a veneer. I have a new DiMarzio FRED that will go in the bridge position and I'm looking for a bright neck pickup with not much bottom end. I like tight, Stratty neck humbuckers. I hate typical neck 'bucker booming tones. My old standby go to for situations like that is the Seymour Duncan Jazz neck model. (SH-2N). I've also played the DiMarzio FRED and the DiMarzio Bluesbucker in the neck position and I like them both. I like to play hard rock (Zep, Deep Purple, etc) and old school metal (Priest, Scorpions, NWOBHM etc.) What do you suggest? Thanks!
