What is a good match for a JB SH-4 for a les paul in the neck position?

 

Candidates are the

 

Alnico Pro II

 

Jazz

 

'59

 

 

I want clear cleans and fat leads. The latter is the most important for me. I want long sustain and a great lead tone like. I like to squeeze out the juice out of notes so this is why i need such a sound.

 

thanks

I have a 59 in the bridge of my SG. I'm surprised at how dark and low output it is. The 57 Classic in the neck is brighter than it and hotter. I guess it's time to play with pole pieces.

 

The 59 sounds fantastic though. I'm almost contemplating taking out the 57 Classic and sticking a 59 in there.

Jazz sounded the nicest to me. So I ordered a JB and a Jazz.


They will be here next week!

 

Good choice. I made the same decision a few weeks back. My guitar had the Korean Jazz/JB HB102 set so I swapped them for the real deal. Sounds great. I was afraid a '59 would be a little too dark but in some ways I wish I had tried it out just to see how it would sound.
