Per the fine advice I received from this form, I recently bought and installed this set of pups into my sons BT-3 Everything Axe™ Set – combines an JB Jr. for the bridge position with a Duckbucker and Little ’59 for the middle and neck positions. I have to say that this little Strat is about as sweet as any I've heard. Now my second son with the BT-4 has tone envy and wants to sound as good as his brother. I'm tempted to do the same configuration except substitute the JB for the JB Jr. My fear is that the JB overpowers the Duckbucker in the middle. Opinion? How about Pearly Gates in the Bridge? This is a maple guitar with rosewood fretboard.

Re: Everything Axe™ Set for HSS Strat?
The output of the JB shouldn't overwhelm the duckbucker anymore than the JBjr did. I'd say give it a try, or ask your other son what he likes or dislikes about his brother axe, that is if he has something special in mind. He might think the bridge pup is too bright and may want something along the lines of a PG or A2P. If not the JB is a good choice.

But that's the trick the duck bucker is hotter than a regular single and the lil 59 is as well. I don't think the JB drowns out the singles on the guitars I've played with them.

Re: Everything Axe™ Set for HSS Strat?
He's still a little guy, although he has pretty big chops. I started him at 5, he's now 10. He doesn't know what he wants to sound like, so I gues versatility is what he needs. He likes Bowling for Soup, Queen, Fountains of Wayne, but because he hangs out with me, he hears a lot of BR5-49, Clash, Mano Negra, Ska
