I'm really note very happy with the bridge pickup in this strat. I would also prefer to stay with the SSS set-up. So, should i go with the little 59 or a full size humbucker (pearly gates?)?

Re: any love for the little 59 bridge
IMO either go with a different single or a full sized humbucker. I haven't played any single-sized humbuckers that I like as much as either a true single or a true humbucker.
If you just want more output, go with whatever the hot tapped for strat is (I forget the model designation).
If you want more output and a fatter sound, go for one of the parallel axis trembuckers. I also really like the p-rails in the bridge of a strat, which if you wire it for all the options would cover the most ground sonically.Originally posted by ImmortalSixI wouldn't pay more than $300 for a BJ.

Re: any love for the little 59 bridge
I just changed out my strat bridge with a lil' screamin' demon. Don't know why I put up with that Kinman bridge PU so long. Sounds great. Not too powerful, blends with the Kinman neck and middle very well. Actually has some bottom!

What neck and middle for the p-rails?

Re: any love for the little 59 bridge
I really dug the lil59 in the bridge of a Strat that I had. It had decent balance, a great classic rock and blues sound when straight into my 68 Bassman...overall, a cool pup. Have not tried the lil Demon.
I've used the DMZ Chopper, and it also is a great pup. It is in the same general output category as the lil59, but a bit brighter.

you'll be able to get a lot more valuable input once the people giving answers know more about your situation.
