Yeah, a Seth can be bought without a cover...just order it that way from any dealer. As far as which pickup...it depends on what you like in a bridge pickup. They all 'feel' more or less the same but have different EQ.

PG Plus might be great for that. That said, I was very happy with a 59B at the bridge on a Floydcaster for many years.
H-series Andersons are plucky and crisp, with excellent definition. They also split really well if that's a consideration.
The Anderson H2 balances nicely with vintage output singles, and it's still got some singlecoil mojo in its personality.
Are you certain a humbucker is what you want?
If you've got the Gibson tones covered already, a beefier singlecoil bridge could be another way to go.
Quarter Pound, or a Zhangbucker Paul Bunyan. Both beefier than vintage, yet less smooth & midrangey than humbuckers.
Or one of the Strat-sized humbuckers, like the Lil 59 or the Lil Screamin Demon.
Lil Demon is kind of underappreciated I think.

I don't know specifically what they arewithout researching. The instruments range from 2007 to 2017-- all stock pickups. Les Paul ('07), SG std., and 335. The pickups on them all sound pretty much alike to me. The Strat HB does not necessarily have to be different-- adding the single coils will do that. Just looking for something that plays well and gives back that vintage sound when wanted. Does anyone know if the American Professional ii comes routed for normal HB? I don't want to have to rout. If not, how'd the lil 59 sound?
. Thank you.
. Thank you.
You can look under the pickguard to see how it is routed. Neither really sounds like a Seth, but I'd say Little PG? The PG is brighter, but the Little 59 is closer to the Alnico II Pro to my ears.

Not positive, but I don't think Duncan even offers a trembucker version of the Seth bridge.
Regular spaced bridge hums have worked fine for me in Strats.
