this seems ridiculous, and i'm curious as to how you guys think this would work...
i'm looking for some better tone...i play a les paul into a boss me-50 into a laney vc30 212...which is a sweet amp, and the me-50 is the most organic sounding processor i have ever played.
i HATE the stock pups in the paul...they are the 498(?) and the 49(?)(?)...don't remember exactly, but they are the recent ones that aren't the burstbuckers....
the tone i have in mind is clear...not extremely highoutput...soft highs...round mids...but i'd like to have a nice deep lead sound at the same time...the kind you would get out of a neck position pup...
what i had in mind is sticking a clear mid-heavy pickup in the neck position...that is pretty strange, but i don't see why it wouldn't work...it would be unique for sure...i was thinking maybe duncan custom custom...which doesn't even have a sound sample on for the neck position on the website...telling me that it isn't strongly encouraged...but i'm curious.
if you read this entire thing, thanks...what are your thoughts? am i crazy? or is this a decent idea?
