Best middle pickup to go with ssl-1 and ssl-5

[jimmyelectric]

Greetings SD! I'm about to upgrade my mij strat with new pups and electronics. I'm set on getting an SSL-1 for the neck and an SSL-5 for the bridge. I was wondering what mid pup would be nice for quack even in gainy settings, varied pickup heights already considered. Actually, would you still recommend a middle pickup change? How do you guys think the SSL-1 and SSL-5 would fare with the stock fender pup? Thanks!

What fingerboard radius does your guitar have?

Anything flatter than 9.5" and you might be better off choosing the SSL-6 and SSL-2 models. I would be tempted to get the bridge position pickup as the Tapped model. You might eventually want the option of the dual output levels.
