I've currently got a Livewire Hot for Strat, and like it, but it may be a bit too thin. I'm considering any of the single sized buckers (lil' 59, Lil Demon, JB Jr, Hot Rails). It's for an alder Strat, rosewood board, vintage trem, for metal. The other pickups are Lace Sensors (Blue in the neck, Silver in the middle).

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
What about using a live wire and a lil Humbucker in one?Pickups... the final frontier.

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
I think you already had a lace sensor red at the bridge position, did you ever thought about the dually lace sensors?
Otherwise the JB jun or hotrails might be worth a try.
It's a matter of taste - i personally prefer full sized humbuckers.Pickups... the final frontier.

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
I've never tried the Red lace sensor. I'm staying away from full-sized buckers, as I have about 7 other guitars setup that way
I traded Kac for this guitar, and it's got the same setup as when I got it. I think that's the biggest reason I wanna try something else, simply because I haven't yet“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
if you like the Lace sensors, look into a Red one...that is the hottest, most gainy Lace SensorIf you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
I have a JB Jr. in my strat and I've played it through a Randall RH-200 half stack. It sounds pretty good for metal, but not exactly the tone I'd like for the heavier stuff. My friend plays his Epi SG with a JB/Jazz pickup combo and he definately gets the tone I'd like to have. The JB and JB jr. don't sound a lot alike as far as I can tell. If I were getting a different bridge pickup, I kind of would have liked a hot rails instead.

Re: Single sized 'buckers...
The only single coil sized humucker I've tried in the bridge is a Hot Rails. It is a very tight sounding, hot, metal bridge pickup. Make no mistakes, it is a full sized humbucker in a single coil sized package. Just curious why you don't want to go with a full sized humbucker if you're looking for the single coil sized ones. Is it a matter of cosmetics or that you don't want to change the pickguard? I only ask, because you'll have many more choices if you go with a full sized humbucker.Everything in this post is the sole opinion of the author.
