Errr
Let me think
Yes! My thinline has had the finish stripped back off, I'm going at it from scratch. I decided that I have my vintage tones from my strat and jazzmaster, so I want a high output, crunchy non trem guitar.
I'll pm you dude.

What would you suggest as a hot neck single coil to balance a BKP Nailbomb. I'm looking for something that will clean up well and stay tight with gain. Currently got a Dimarzio Chopper which is a bit base heavy and wooly under gain & doesn't balance will with the bridge.
The neck is a direct mount at a slight angle so I think F spacing would be there way to go.

Dear mr Guitar Weasel,
Just got the Custom Ash Scott Lockyear Custom Shop "Ravens" in the Jaden Rose. I am now completely at a loss as to why anybody would stick Tone Zone / Air Norton in a guitar. While the ones you did for the Archtop are very very good (As in Jason Lollar good and cheaper) these really do stand out from any shred/high gain oriented pickups I have ever played or owned. The first thing that struck me when I tested them was the cleans (cos that was what I tried first). In bucking form they actually had dynamics rather than the over compressed sound the Dimarzios had. Even better, you could actually hear the acoustic sound of the guitar for the first time. (Its a very resonant guitar and sounds sweet acoustically, and deader with the Dimarzios. More over the Air Norton was too tall to adjust properly leading to too much boom and no clarity on the neck pickup). No it sounds very swet and musical clean. These pickups also tap extraordinarily well and you could easily take this guitar to a bluesfest, plug it into a Gassage level rig and not sound out of place next to Lesters and Strats.
So then I put it under some heavy distortion. Tight as fuck but still very musical would best describe them. The DiMarzios did distortion fairly well, but nothing like this well. A good guitar is now a really top rate guitar and a total keeper.
So if anyone is looking for a top of the line shreddy/fusion/modern pickup that sounds really nice clean yet handles crushing amounts of gain then I´d take a look at these. They absolutely blow the Dimarzios out of the water, both at the job the DiMarzios were designed to do and also do cleans a lot better than many low out put pickups.
@Jaden_Rose Id recommend auditioning a set of these in one of your lovely guitars. Ash engineered the neck pickup to fit the cavity better and they really bring the best out in the guitar.
So thanks a lot Ash, top job.
It now has coil split toggle between the volume and tone knobs. And just because Ash likes seeing his pickups in nice guitars.
Heritage with ASLs and a new bridge
