The CC is loud and about as dark as a broadcaster neck pickup, but it is very clear and smooth. There something that reminds me of a strat, because it can sound glassy and "tubular". I think you need to go with a bridge pickup that`s about 7,5K in output. In any case, the CC neck is just fantastic, although I couldnīt say if it is worth the extra dollar compared to the VintageVibe. Looks great too! Pics soon.
Well, I wasn't looking for dark so this may or may not work.
