Hi, as I’m about to purchase another “Everything Axe” setup (Lil59, Duckbucker, JB Jr) for one of my Strats, I’m curious if anyone prefers the Hot Rails in the bridge vs the Jr JB it comes with? Is the Jr JB voiced better with these other two? Much appreciation on all the responses to my Strat questions so far. They have helped
 
The Hot Rails is noticeably darker sounding than the JB Jr. It is really just preference- do you like a darker, more powerful bridge pickup? Can your guitar benefit from a brighter pickup in the bridge? What kind of music are you playing? What don't you like about the current pickups?
 
i like both pups, but as dave says, the hot rails is darker. that can be ok depending on the rest of the rig, but matching with those other pups, i usually find the jb jr is a better choice
