    Default ESP MII Deluxe neck pup...ideas?

    Yo

    I have a 90's ESP MII Deluxe, locking trem. Originally the guitar came with a JB bridge and some sort of ESP rails pup in the neck.

    The ESP rails pup stopped working. I contacted ESP and they said the closest thing to that pickup is a SD Hot Rails.

    But... do I have any other options?

    What do you guys suggest?

    Thanks

    Tons of different things can go in there. Try something fatter like a little 59, what about pure single coil sound like an antiquity is awesome too. I'm sure Dimarzio has some cool options. Overall the hotrail is a sweet pickup though, fun tone to it. The choppers badass too (dimarzio)

    What do you use the neck pickup for? A hotrails would absolutely kill for solos.

    I use the JB in the bridge for rhythm and legato stuff and usually switch to the neck pup for sweeping and fast picking parts in solos. So, I need something with definition, something that can take gain/overdrive well, but something that is also kind of fat and creamy...any ideas?
