I have two slide guitars. One has two Epiphone humbuckers (they are not Epihone's current alnico vintage models, but an older, lower-end model). The other slide guitar has a 28-year-0ld Seymorized Mini-Humbucker (I believe this model is still available on the Seymor Duncan website; it is a hot version of the Firebird mini with similar volume output to a regular humbucker, but much brighter).
The problem with the Epiphone humbuckers is that the response on the high E string is very weak compared to the B and G strings. On the guitar with the Seymorized mini humbucker the high string response is much better, as are high pitched harmonics. When played unplugged, both guitars have a fairly even response across the strings.
What kind of full-sized replacement humbucker would give me better slide guitar response on the high E string?
