Can somebody please help me choose between these 2 setups?

[June-5-1994]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get a cleaner rock tone out of the neck position and a good driving rock tone from the middle position, and then of course have the Invader in the bridge wired in parallel. If anybody could tell me the different types of parallel wiring and which would be better for my situation that'd be great also.

Setup 1:

N: STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus
M: STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus
B: SH-8 Invader

*if I should swap the S7 and S6 around to get the tone mentioned above could you please let me know?

Setup 2:

N: STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus
M: STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack plus (or an STK-S6)
B: SH-8 Invader

Thank you

EDIT: for a HSS American Special Stratocaster

I'm no strat expert, but I tendnto use the pickups on my strats in the opposite manner. I use the neck and bridge for dirtier tones and the middle for clean sounds. I think I ended up doing this because I tend to lower my middle pickup in relation to the neck and bridge emore in order to get it out of the way of my picking hand.
