Re: Help me to choose a Single Coil for an HSH setup
You'll need to provide a little more info. What kind of amp are you playing through, what style of music, do you want a true single coil or a single-sized humbucker (stacked or twin coil), etc. I'm not too familiar with the Dimarzios, perhaps someone else could chime in.

Well output aside I think the Seymour Duncan 1/4 Pounder or the Dimarzio SDS-1 will work well for the middle pickup. They should both blend well with either humbucker and still retain that strat quality you tend to lose with other single coil sized humbuckers. You can install a coil cut but even so it doesnt really sound much like a true single coil only a weak humbucker.

i've a mate who put a telecaster bridge pickup in the middle position on his ibanez,sounded fantastic i think it was a quarter pounder
as far as i know the base need to be modified to fit though it wasn't hard

if you used a low output middle pup the volume will drop, but youll also get more quack. i tend to like a lower output middle pup.
the qp and sds1 are both cool choices. neither sounds like a traditional strat pup but they have a single coil character to their sound, a big fat single coil. i have both and they both sound very nice

A couple months ago I was thinking to get an YJM but some guys told me that Single Coil has a very very low output, what do you think about this single coil?
Are the Quarter pound and SDS1 equals to YJM in output?
