Looking for a Neck PU to pair with a Satchur8 - HFH with A8?
« on: April 04, 2026, 07:30:31 AM »
I recently got a deal on a BC Rich Mockingbird Supreme (shortscale mahogany neck through) that came with PRS Artist pickups that I really disliked.
Since I had a Satchur8 laying around I installed it and it fits the guitar quite nicely - very balanced and I like that it's based on the Norton with hex screws but has an A8 magnet in it to differ a little to my other guitars.
I tried a Bluesbucker which wasn't bad in the neck position but I had the feeling it might fit better in one of my Jacksons.
The Humbucker from Hell went in next and it ain't bad either but doesn't really pair well with the Satchur8. Does anybody have experience with putting a A8 magnet in to lift up the volume?
Or has anyone an opinion if it's a good idea to stick an A8 into a low output pickup like the HFH?

I guess a dual resonance pickup with A5 like the FRED might be worth a try as well but have no expierence with it and some people rage about that pickup.
I have a left over PAF Pro as well but hated it in the guitars I tried it. Some say the FRED is close to it..

Any thougths?
