Hi guys,

I have a 1994 Mexican-made Fender Stratocaster. Body is poplar, neck is maple. I currently have two Tex-Mex single coils in the neck and middle positions.

What kind of full-size humbucker should I get for the bridge? I play classic rock (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Cream) and occasional old-school metal (Sabbath, early Metallica).

I've narrowed my search down to the following, based largely on the Tone Wizard and what I've read on this forum:

SH-11 Custom Custom
SH-5 Duncan Custom
SH-14 Custom 5

Considering my guitar type & musical tastes, which would be best?

I also welcome any other pickup suggestions you may have.

Thanks. :)
 
Re: Humbucker recommendation for HSS Strat

Custom Custom (CC) and Custom 5 (C5) are the same pickup. One with Alnico 2 magnet and the other with Alnico 5
I believe C5 will fit your taste pretty good. In case you are not happy you can always swap the magnet and have a CC or even a C8
