SwedishLuthier Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 what makes a neck pickup sound like a neck pickup Don’t want to be rude but the answer is…it is placed at the neck! Simple as that. But the difference in sound between two identical pickups places at neck/bridge is the reason that there are specially tuned neck/bridge pickup combinations. Me I prefer to wind my neck pickups slightly less “hot” then the bridge partner and leave everything else identical. But everybody have their own preferences.
