Hello all, this is my first time here and am looking for a bit of sage advice. I have an alder bodied, maple neck strat that has YJM furies in the neck and middle position, which sound fantastic but I wasn't blown away by the YJM bridge. I want a strat sized humbucker that would blend output-wise with the YJMs but will get me a thicker sound, not dull but round and full; doesn't necessarily have to be an SD pickup (heresy, I say!) but I do want a distinct tonal difference between the strat neck and middle and the bridge pickup. Thanks.

How about a Little '59 or a Li'l Screamin' Demon? Also, in case you didn't already know, you can hear audio samples of all the SD pickups for Strat here (just make sure you use good speakers or headphones).
And welcome to the forum!

Thanks,everyone. I have listened to the sound samples but my main concern is output balance. The YJMs read very hot but don't actually sound overly hot so I need something that wouldn't give a dramatic difference in volume and to be honest the Little '59 and Screamin Demon might be on the thin sounding side; I need more girth. I do like what I have heard of the Dimarzio Chopper and Tone Zone but I am not sure if they would balance well volume wise, the same with the JB Jr and RTM-S; nice sound but may outpace the YJMs. I wish I had the kind of cash that would allow me to buy one of each to try out but that is not realistic or practical so here I am.
