GFS - Bigmouth or Dream 180?

Coach · May 11th, 2006, 12:23 PM

Looking for a neck pickup for my SG copy. It will have a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge. I was originally thinking about a Humbucker From Hell in the neck, but the GFS models are cheaper. Which do you think would be a better option for then neck of this guitar? I need something that will clean up well when rolling back the guitar volume and something that will clear and not muddy but still balance well with the Tone Zone. Any thoughts?

I have not tried the Big Mouth, but the Dream 180 should get you what you want. It's a very clear and artuculate pickup in the neck of a tele. I was pleasently surprised how good it sounded. It should mate very well with the Tone Zone T too.

Thanks for the input BB. I might just have to go ahead with the Dream180 because I can't find much info on the Bigmouth.
