Pickup Alnico

Which guitar pickup should I get?

I am making a replica of a les paul guitar (mahogany body, maple neck) and I want to put a semour duncan alnico pro II pickup for the neck position what pickup should I get for the bridge position

If you want to get an incredibly authentic sounding tone that replicates a 1959 PAF Les Paul pickup I would look no further than Bare Knuckle Pickup’s ‘The Mule’.

It is absolutely fantastic.

It may be pricey but it will make almost any guitar sound great.

Edit: If you do want to use a Gibson 57 Classic I would suggest putting it in the neck and the Seymour Duncan in the bridge, the 57 Classic is more suited to mellower sounds rather than the sharp bite of a bridge pickup.
