HSH recommendations for a new old Blade Strat

[johan]

Hi
I'm looking for a HSH set to go in my old Blade Strat.
Ash body, maple /RW neck
I want to go a bit more modern than pure PAF-land.
By modern I mean 80s Rock. Lukather, Van Halen, Vito Bratta.

Any ideas on a set of HSH?

Jazz neck, JB bridge?
Custom custom?
Ideas?

Happy new year!!

I like the Jazz neck, JB bridge. For the middle go for the Vintage Rails. I like the Custom Custom too, but it is more EVH than Vito or Luke. The JB, to me, is the sound of 80s hard rock. The Vintage Rails in the middle will give a little Strat-ness to the mix.

Perpetual Burn Trembucker for the bridge position.

I second for pics!

Its unconventional but I really love the combo of Screamin Demons and the Lil Screamin Demon in the middle to make an HHH but retain the HSH. I like the Liquifire in the neck with the Screamin Demons but some don't care for it. Screamin Demons give you a very wide range that you can cover!

Best of luck!
