Fender DH-1 HB - nearest Duncan equivalent?

[stratvet]

:help: I actually LIKE the DH-1 that came stock on my American Deluxe HSS Strat-- does anyone here know what the closest Seymour Duncan equivalent would be? I'd love to swap out the HB on my Standard HSS Strat for a Duncan that's just like the DH-1 . . .
Thanks much! :help:

Prob the pearly gates or 59 trembuckers....

Why not look for a used DH-1, a lot of players replace them. Nothing duncan makes is going to match that sound really closely, but the pearly gates mentioned above is similar, with its top end sizzle.

sorry but fender doesn't make a humbucker that can compare to a seymour duncan. i replaced the dh-1 immediately in both of my american deluxe strats and have never been happier. it's a pretty good output pickup so you probably want to check out the custom custom. the mids are comparable, but sounds waaaayyyy better than the dh-1

Thanks, guys-- really do appreciate your help! It's looking like all signs are pointing to Custom Custom (bridge) (or Pearly Gates-- but I'll probably go CC, as I have a PG in the neck of my Babicz Octane & it does NOT impress me! too muddy & indistinct/boomy in the low-end-- at least on THAT axe; but that's SO different from a strat, who knows?).
Neck & Middle almost certainly I'll choose Cool Rails for both . . .

:thanks:
