What is better for a good, distorted neck pickup tone?

[Mapleg4]

Mahogany and Ebony or Mahogany and Rosewood? The guitar in this case would have a Mahogany body 22 frets, a Floyd and an EMG 89 in the neck.

I doubt you would hear enough difference in fretboard material to care. :tard:
Pick for looks and feel.

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

The differences exist on paper.  Either way, it will still sound like a mahogany neck.

Yeah, there's not going to be enough of a difference.

^This.

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Ebony for sharp attack and presence, rosewood for a duller, warmer tone. But these differences will be minor.

Best thing for a distorted neck pickup tone is a bridge pickup thats not over the top with treble, and just use that instead.  For a little bit of crunch and OD... I prefer a lightly scooped pickup, say, a Seth Lover or 57 Classic, but thats me, my amps, my ears, my hands etc
