Question Reflex pickups?

[cit5]

Hi!
I got MM Reflex guitar which is great instrument, but clean channel on neck pickup sounds too muddy, especially in series mode. So mostly I play in paralel mode - 4 position which is outside coils.
My question is what neck pickup will be brighter and overall better for clean sounds?

Its a humbucker in a 22 fret chambered body guitar. It is what it is. I don't think you'll get much improvement by throwing something else in.

How about mini-humbucker? It's always great sounding pickup in semi-hollow guitars.

They're decent output humbuckers, so anything with less inductance (less hot) is going to be brighter. There are about a zillion pickup choices on the market today if you want to swap 'em out.

Parallel mode is there to give you what you want though- it's a humbucking configuration and gives you more highs.

have you tried to put the humbucker closer to the strings? could be possible to get more highs by this way.
