A couple of years ago, I bought a beautiful blue Fender player Strat with the intention of using it for Iron Maiden type things. I swapped out the pickguard for a HSS Warmoth guard and put in a JB for the stock bridge pickup. I don't know if it's my wiring or the pickup itself, but it's quiet in every position but in-series bridge humbucker mode. (Is this position one or five?) Don't really care, though.
That's not really the issue, though. I think I want to go back to having this just sound more like a traditional Strat, even though I don't really know how to describe that tone. But it won't work for me with any significant amount of gain, because the first knob keeps my hand from resting on the bridge to mute the strings. For what it's worth, I think I'm really just interested in a single-coil bridge or putting the stock pickup back in there, which I never really gave a serious shot to, since I bought it with the intention of making it a Super Strat.
I have experience with most of Duncan's humbuckers, but literally zero single coils. Can you break down which Duncan Strat pickups you have experience with and what you like or do not like about them?
