Duncans in a fat strat!

[papersoul]

Hey guys,

I haven't been here in a while, dealing with some health issues. I hope everyone is well.

I wanted to see what you all thought about the following.

I have a 2013 American Standard Strat. I love how it feels, plays and sounds acoutically, sounds huge.

However, I am not a single coil fan but love stacked humbuckers and rails that are designed to sound like single coils. For example, I have a Duncan Little 59 for Tele and Duncan Vintage Stack in my 2012 American Standard Tele. Love them both! I have 500K pots as well and they sound great!

For the strat, I was looking at the DiMarzio At-1 Andy Timmons humbucker and two Cruiser rail pickups.

Being a big Seymour Duncan fan, I think I want to stick to the Duncan route. What are your thoughts about a Duncan JB or 59/Custom Hybrid in a strat with 250K pots?
So for the middle and neck pickups, what about the Duncan STK-7S in the neck slot with 250K pots. Sound good? I would need to find the right middle pickup to match.

I may be willing to install 500K pots as well.

Thanks for any advice!

I use classic stack plus stk_$4 in my Strat with the stock 250k pots. Sounds great!

I recommend gluing up a quadrahelical array of Invaders or Black Winters for the bridge so you can the maximum output possible, just enough distortion to create a gravitational singularity without affecting the creation of a 2nd big bang.

for the neck position, a baby carrot will give you clean, crisp articulate tones, still be able to handle crunch, but with a bit of sweetness.

If you are going to go with the baby carrot you are going to want to stick with the 250K pots, you don't want your tone to get mushy.

I'd only go with 500k pots on a baby carrot if I was going to shred them...

Thanks bro! I picked up a few different models from Guitar Center today along with the DiMarzio AT-1 and Duncan SH-16. I will see what works. Take care dude and thanks for the input.
