What is your favorite bridge and neck pickup combo and why?

[ViperDoc]

I wish covered 59/09 were available. I just put an Onemac Windery covered, potted Custom 59 set in a Knaggs and they are some of the very best pickups I’ve ever heard.

I'd say 59/09 bridge, 58/15LT neck. Only problem is, I've never had that actual combination in one guitar.

Guess I'll have to buy another one and do it!

Solid plan. Better get after it!

They pop up here and there but not very often. I was lucky enough to find one and now it’s in my HB Spruce.

Depends on the guitar.

In a Gibson SG:
Neck Position - DiMarzio Humbucker from Hell.
Bridge position - Original DiMarzio PAF from the late 70's.

In an ES 335/345/355:
2 Gibson Classic 57's.

In my PRS guitars:
Whatever pickups they came out of the factory with.
PRS seems to have gotten it right.

I would agree that the pickups pretty well matched in all of PRS guitars I have owned. The Swamp Ash Special pickups are very nice, and the original McCarty pickups are very nice as well. I actually like the 58/15S pickups a lot in my new McCarty 594 SE as well. But my favorites right now are the Burstbuckers in my Epiphone 59 reissue Les Paul.

-My 2001 Singlecut has a set of Greenville "Suspicion" pickups in them. That set has A4 mags in them, and the pickups are wound hotter than the stock #7's that were in the Singlecut.

- My 2018 Black Gold Burst CU24 has the stock set of 85/15 TCI's in them.

- My 2022 Charcoal Burst CU24 currently has a set of \m/'s installed. More than likely, I will be removing the \m/'s and installing a set of 59/09's I have. When I originally installed the \m/'s I wired the bridge pickup incorrectly, and the bridge pickup sounded great. Because of the incorrect wiring, I wasn't getting the proper sound from position 2. After a few trial and errors, I was able to get everything wired correctly. Now the bridge pickup has was more output than the neck pickup to the point it's frustrating.
