I'm building a Superstrat with an HSS configuration and a Custom Shop `78 in the bridge. I'm undecided on what to do about the middle and neck pickups. I'm familiar with the tone of the SSL1, SSL4, the Antiquity II Surfer, and could probably go with any of them, at least as far as tone goes. What would be most matched in output to the CS 78? The lit says that it's a low output, underwound pickup, but I don't know if 'low output' means overall, or just compared to other humbuckers.
Also, has anyone tried the Little 59 or 78, or JB Jr in the neck or middle position? I don't really want a humbucker sound in those positions, but I suppose it could work out if the output was balanced with the CS78.
