I have an Alder Warmoth strat body coming in pretty soon and I have two different pickguards lying around I am going to choose to put on the Guitar. One of the pickguards is HH and the other is HS. I am debating on whether or not to put in the PATB series in the guitar and was curious about the Parallel Axis Stack Pickup vs the PATB-1 Neck pickup. I know they are both good, but was wondering how the Stack Pickup feels compared to a single coil? Is the output of the Stack Pickup similar to the PATB-1 Neck? I would be using a Maple Neck and only a volume knob with no tone on the strat. Wilkinson Bridge VS-100

Here's my Ibanez RG870RWZ with a PATB-1 set and a PA-STK1. The stack matches the neck with no issues. Feels a bit like a P90, but more compressed, and,is extremely clear, working great both with gain and when clean.
I don't know if you have any experience with stacks, but the PA sounds nothing like a Classic Stack, for instance; more like a modern, hi-fi version of single coil tone, with matching EQ.
The shape is a bit more square when compared to regular stacks or rail single coil-sized humbuckers, so you may have to route the pickguard a bit on the corners.

I'll take what you said about the tone into consideration!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;
