0 Hbom Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I don't keep up with all the newer brands and offers but I think the Bare Knuckles Yard bird neck pup would work pretty well at that task. Great for blues and supposed to be terrific for jazz. 1 Quote

0 Dave Scepter Posted 34 minutes ago Posted 34 minutes ago Alnico II or III Single Coils (e.g., Seymour Duncan Alnico II): These soften the treble response and provide a spongy bass, making them excellent for rolling off the tone knob to achieve a traditional, woody jazz or smooth blues tone without ice-pick highs. Charlie Christian Pickups (e.g., Lollar CC): Revered by jazz greats like Ed Bickert, these large, blade-style pickups provide massive, punchy output with a brilliant, piano-like clarity that handles both swing and blues effortlessly. Low-Wind Humbuckers (e.g., Lollar Imperial Low Wind): Many players route a humbucker into the neck position for thicker, warmer, and more airy tones reminiscent of an old Gibson ES-335.P90 in a Tele Cover (e.g., Harmonic Design Super 90): Gives you the fat, mid-range growl of a P90, adding aggressive bite for blues leads and a dark, jazzy warmth, all without needing major guitar modifications Quote
