Well, whatever you use singles in the neck for and whatever you use bridge humbuckers for without that damn middle pickup getting in the way. Also, it's useful for people like me who don't like the "quack" positions.

What pickups would you choose for an H/S setup?

There has been a lot of great information posted in here. Thanks for all the input!
I originally thought about something like a Lil '59 for the neck, and somewhat thought that it would defeat the purpose. That said, I have really enjoyed them in the past. I feel like they have a certain clarity that a full size humbucker can't achieve due to the smaller coils. I figured but using an overwound stacked coil, I could get the noise free benefit and for the most part, a single coil sound. I have come to really enjoy the P90 sound, especially in the neck. So having the overwound stack can somewhat check those boxes.
Thanks again for the input!

I would match the STK-S7 neck with a high output dark humbucker pickup in the bridge, but I suspect the STK-S7 will be very dark with a 500k pot.
Edit: My mistake, STK-S7 might actually sound better in the neck with a 500k pot. It's dark in the neck with 250k (and very nice in the bridge with 250k).Last edited by donaldr; 10-30-2020, 02:41 PM.

Does cleaner tones very well in parallel, since in parallel it can get boomy.
Gainier tones get a bit of "stratiness" to them, more in feel that in sound.
I just love it either way, at least on the aforementioned guitar.Guitars:Gibson LP Trad ('57 Classics); Ibanez SEW761FM (TB-16/STK-S7 m&n); Charvel DK24 (TB10/SSL-6/A2Pn), DK22 (HRb/SSL-6 m&n), SoCal Style1 (Distortion set) & SoCal Style2 24 2PT (Fluence OCC); ESP LTD MH-1000HS (TB-14/Lil59n); Effects: Line 6 Helix Floor, Digitech Drop & FreqOut, ME EP-1L6,Shure GLXD16, Headrush MX5;

Originally posted by jeremy View Posti wouldnt think the stks7 would be overly dark with 500k pots. might be dark compared to the sd in the bridge though. in the neck with 250k too dark for my taste for sure
Actually it makes a lot of sense having the STK-S7 in the neck with 500k pots. Me it was wired with 250k which I think sounds better for the Screamin Demon in the bridge.
Your fault jeremy now I want to try a STK-S7 neck with a bridge humbucker!!!! Any suggestion for "hotter than a Screamin Demon and a bit darker too"?

The STK-S4 is a better match to the Screamin Demon, and the SD works very well with a 250k volume pot. Check that demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-xkwOtdvRM&t=107s

@ErikH Just realized that I only tried the STK-S7 in the neck with 250k pots. Might actually sounds good with 500k pots (less dark) and an humbucker to match the output. Should have known that before, it would have saved me from buying 2 guitars and 2 sets of pickups (long story!!!!!)

Custom Custom / Cool Rails / 500K volume / 3-way toggle:

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
