Description
Designed with Mr. Big’s Paul Gilbert, the PG-13 Neck (DP242) splits the difference between a full-size humbucker and a single-coil, landing on something Gilbert himself sums up as clarity without harshness. Because a mini humbucker senses a shorter length of string, it naturally dials back some lower harmonics, leaving you with a brighter, more articulate voice than a standard-size bucker would give you.
This Neck version is voiced fatter and creamier than its Bridge counterpart, which suits it well to Jazz and Blues lead work — but its lower output and compact coil footprint keep things from turning to mush even when you dig in. Pair it with a PG-13 Bridge and you get that classic spread-out, quacky in-between tone that works across genres, whether you’re covering acoustic ballads one minute or Modern Metal riffing the next.
Under the hood, the coils are individually tuned to pull out overtones reminiscent of a single-coil while still holding onto low-end definition — smooth on top, solid underneath.
