BEST NECK PICK UP FOR IBANEZ


Hello -
What would you guys suggest for a neck pick-up for a 1570. I need a creamy twangy blues type of sound in the neck position. My bridge pup provides a good metal/rock sound...but my neck pick-up needs to reflect another tone all together. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you want a single coil

But the best I would say for that from my experience is a Paf Pro.

For a single coil sounding humbucker the Humbucker From Hell might be a good pick.

for a 1570 a paf pro or air norton, both are well proven and sound great direct body mounted as a 1570 is. My preference tbh is the air norton, but its horses for courses and i play mainly thrash and prog.

You should have a DiMarzio Bluesbucker.
It is the pickup you describe.

The Air Norton is a bit fat.
I'd go with the Humbucker From Hell or PAF Pro.

I agree with the Paf Pro sentiment, but i'd also add a coil tap to up the twang factor.

Rock on!
