Tone Zone + Humbucker From Hell in H/H config... Yay or nay?

[Dee]

As the thread title suggests, I'm considering replacing the neck pickup in my RG3120 (H/H config) with a Humbucker From Hell. Reason being I can't get enough of a single-coil kinda sound using the current pickup config. The neck position 'bucker is a PAF Pro.

How about it? Anyone use the TZ/HFH together?

Yes i have in! In a paul gilbert model, and if i recall they were the stock pickups. That combo is awesome imo, but the paf pro sounds cooler than the humbucker from hell. If you really must have that extra single coily sound though and cant live without it the humbucker from hell would work fine. Or you could always install a mini humbucker, and a regular single in the neck like and hs-2 :P (sort of like a sustainer setup, I know its not really feasible but would probably sound awesome imo)

i have a humbucker from hell in the neck on one of my guitars and it is my favorite neck pickup so far out of the evolution neck and paf pro.

Interesting idea, Sniper!

Thanks for the replies.

That was John Petrucci's setup for Images and Words...

Cool. I know Paul Gilbert used that config too.
