Looking for a bright and jangly noise cancelling SC to put be between a 59b and a PGn in a HSH setup. Need the middle to bring the clean and bring out the cluck when combined with the humbuckers. Classic Stack? Vintage stack? Duckbucker?
 
Re: Brightest noise cancelling SC in the Duncan line

the classic stack+ neck is a good choice

^^ Exactly what I was going to recommend, I´m not aware of anything that´s both clearer AND hum canceling....

Is this for clean-tone......might be able to get away with regular s/c if you're not playing heavy dirt with it. Tone is much better too.

Use an SSL1 true single coil and a 4-pole, 5-way "Super Switch." Wire it 1)Bridge 59 2)bridge cut+SSL1, 3)Bridge 59 + PGn 4) PGn cut+ssl1, 5)PGn. VAVOOOMM! Les Paul and Strat in one guitar

I don`t want to accuse you of anything, but have you tried the Classic Stack Plus? Because it`s about as close as you can get to an SSL-1 without actually being one.

They really are that good, multiple users here posted reviews when they came out and almost all of them were stellar, most here couldn`t even hear a significant difference in the soundclips.... They´re "a bit" duller than an SSL-1, and by a bit I mean like rolling the tone down from 10 to 9.

I honestly believe that you could put these into a vintage strat style guitar and nobody would be able to tell you it`s a stack without knowing just by the tonal profile. I´m fairly certain they`ll ask about dummy coils and Hum canceling backplates before they get the idea that they might be stacks.

Thanks, but I need the bright SC tone on this one.

If you want to use the middle pickup by itself then, yes, go with the STK-S4. It is definitely the best noiseless single coil style pickup I've tried - better than Fender Vintage Noiselss, Dimarzio Area, and Fralin Split Blades. It is a great pickup -
