Customize a GJ2 arete with seymour duncan pickups

[brago81]

Hi guys, I have bought a GJ2 arete 3-stars. Beautiful guitar, I love the feeling with the neck, and the finishes are very good quality. But, in my opinion, the habanero classics are not so aggressive as I would want. The configuration is H-S. Also there's a big difference in volume when I switch from humbucker to single coil.
Which high output seymour duncan pickups do you suggest? Maybe a duncan distortion SH-6 or an invader? for the single coil, I don't know!
thanks for any suggestions, best regards from Italy

I would suggest either the Alternative 8, the PATB-1, PATB-2, or a JB for the bridge.

For the neck, I'd suggest a JBJr, a Lil59, or a Classic Stack.

The Distortion, JB, or even Alt 8 are good suggestions. To help with the balance adjust the neck pup closer to the strings and the bridge pup a little further away.

the alternative 8 seems to be a good choice. I heard some samples, and it's very aggressive but at the same time warm. Probably it's better than a duncan distortion... in the neck, I think I would go for the lil59. Thanks a lot!
