It is a new build, so there are no pickups in it right now. I
It is also my first guitar with that particular wood combo, so I'm a little lost as to what pickups should I put in the guitar to get the tones that I'm after.

Looking for good clean tones from the neck pickup, but also the abilty to get great full tones when soloing. For the bridge humbucker, I'm looking for power, clarity (good string definition), with good mids, but highs that are not ear piercing.

Need recommendations for Dimarzio pickups (single pickup for neck, humbucker for bridge), for a guitar with the following configuration:

Alder body with walnut top (body is chambered)
Maple neck and fingerboard
Locking trem

I play, hard rock, 80's hair metal, fusion/progressive music.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I have a Norton in a 25.5  scale bolt on mahogany body and find the tone kind of sterile.

I'm looking for 80's hard rock and hair metal tones. Will use a Friedman BE 100 and Bogner Ecstasy 20th Anniversary for amplification. Will the AT-1 fit the bill?
