Lil 59 - Lil 59 - Lil 59 in Strat?

[Jazz+]

I'm leaning towards Lil 59 - Lil 59 - Lil 59 in parallel in my Squier Stratocaster?
I don't need any quack or chime. So, Mini Humbuckers all the way seems like what I imagine I want. I already have Lil 59 in the neck and like it a lot. So go all the way?

I love pickup sets. I was just about to make a thread about it. Sounds cool. Go for it. Report back.

You may also want to wait for the release of the Red Devils. Just to be different.

If you aren't going for quack, I'd just eliminate the middle pickup. A 2 Little 59 guitar would rock. So would a Little 59 and a regular 59.

I used the lil 59 in the neck but never in the middle. If it was me, I'd choose a brighter pickup in the middle such as cool rails neck. The middle position seems to capture more midrange sound, so a mid pickup that is brighter and has leaner mids will give a more defined tone. It's especially true when you use the neck and mid pickups together. There will be a slight quack but not at much as using strat single coils. There is likely to be maximum quack if you use neck and bridge P/Us together, just becasuse of the different parts of the string being sensed.

i actually love a lil 59 bridge model in the middle of some guitars. terrific slide sound! i think its worth adding parallel or split options for all the positions
