Good single coils to match SH-11????

[papersoul]

I decided a Pearly Gates or PATB-3 is not strong enough for me in a Strat. I am installing a Duncan Custom Custom or possibly a Rio grande BBQ. My question is if I do the CC, what is a good mathcing single set for middle and neck? Hot Stack + bridge in the neck and a Hot Stack middle?

In the number 2 position, the bridge humbucker will be split to be used with the middle single.

I don't know.

I bought a used ESP Horizon, with a H-S layout. The single is some sort of vintage judging by the cloth white and black leads.

Put in a CC. Added a push pull to split it.

The single with the split CC is humbucking and sounds really good. The CC split sounds very stratty. Smoke on the River stratty. I think I like it better than the split JB.

I would go with Classic Stack Plus in the middle and neck.

In that case I'd get a SSL-5 Customs to neck and middle.

SSL-5's would work but you would lose a little bit of that strat tone in those positions.

What kind of sound do you want?
Do you want noiseless?

I would prefer noiseless but I guess not essential. Right now it has Texas Specials and are dead quiet! Weird.

If I go standard singles, I was thinking of the Rio Grande MuyGrande humbucker with Rio singles.

However, since the humbucker is already a Duncan, I was thinking of the CC since I know it sounds sweet and smooth.
