Fender DH-1 humbucker, which SD pup does it sound closest too?

[FuelGTRX]

I'm looking to get a new Fender American Deluxe HSS Strat. Which SD pup is similar to the Fender DH-1 pup that's in the American Deluxe HSS Strat? I want to change out the pup, but I can't find an SD pickup that will match the color of the other pickups and knobs on the strat. So I'm thinking of keeping the DH-1 in it, but I need to know which SD it sounds closest to.

I've heard here that the dh1 is a 59 knockoff. I haven't ever played it so i dont know.

I have played one, but it was like 6 months ago, so I don't remember exactly how it sounded. I remember liking it, but I'm not sure if it fit my sound or not. I would rather go with the tried and true JB that I use in alot of guitars I have owned, but if the DH-1 sounds exceptable, I won't need to change it.

What color are the pups??? Duncan makes black, and white bobbin pups and that's the only colors I've ever seen fender use besides the aged white.

Another option (if you're intent on keeping the stock look) is to have the DH-1 rewound by the Duncan Custom Shop. That way, everything looks the same, but you can have the humbucker wound to any spec you want (can you say "78 model? ), at a fraction of the cost of a fully custom pickup.

it's more than a year since i have changed the dh-1 for a JB but i remember of the DH1 as a very trebly pickup and a little bit "generic" sounding. I've read somewhere maybe on this forum) that it is similar to the pearly gates.
