neck pickups suck balls man, if you want to nail a COB tone get some passive emg hz h2 and buy mxr 10 band eq.

Don't bother installing a neck pickup in that guitar, it will cost at least half as much as you paid for it. All of that routing, re-painting and body work, plus the cost of the actual pickup will amount to several hundred dollars.

You should save that money for a guitar that already has one.

If you want Bodom tone then I wouldn't bother with a neck pickup, there's a reason the signature model doesn't have one. As for a pickup, Laiho's used passive EMGs (I think EMG HZ-H4s) with an afterburner. He's also used the Seymour Duncan Blackout.
Currently he's using his signature EMG pickup, the EMG ALX.

Depending on what amp you have, it may be a better idea to upgrade that instead of intalling a new pickup.
