software

got a les paul standard and have a duncan custom in the bridge.

im looking for a neck pup to match it.

i play everything from zz top to pantera.

i rip alot of leads with both pickups on to get that real smooth sustain tone
but also have a nice warm tone when the amp is clean.

ive tried pearly gates, i like the tone for certain stuff but it had a little too much twang and not enough sustain so to speak.

hit me up

I'm going to go out on a tangent here and say a Jazz for the neck, dude.rock.

Full shred neck

I have the full shred neck also but, for smooth and warm I would say the Alnico II pro. I think it will work out for you better than the Jazz also for what you are looking for. Maybe a Seth Lover will do it for you also.

Im gonna say go with a good ole' 59n!

thanks guys!

im familiar with the jazz in the neck - i had an explorer that had a jb bridge and jazz neck combo. i remember it sounding real good but that was yrs ago -
im leaning toward the seth lover, then a 59

maybe a dimebucker for the neck?

I'd say go A2P... I have one in the neck of my Les Paul and it is buttery, smooth and defined without sounding harsh. A little less twang and more singing tone than the PG.

BTW, won't the dimebucker in the neck overpower the Duncan Custom in the bridge?

I think a 59 would work good also. I played a gutiar with jb/59 combo and it sounds awesome when they were mixed.

I'm going with the A2P also. It's the smoothest most balanced of all the neck pickups I've tried. Nice and warm and that's in a strat...... It quickly became my fav. neck pup from Duncan. Though I've yet to try my 59/Jazz Hybrid...
