Humbuckers for Strat build?

Yeh Im leaning more towards 59 custom hybrid for bridge,or custom custom.
Just need something a little more beefy for neck.

You can always use the bridge version of any suggested neck pickup.

I’m seriously considering going back to S-S-S with the blackouts strat set (with the jumper wired to a push-pull) but it’s difficult to find demos for what I’d want them for.

Thinking of that but may be to bassy/boomy sounding.
Like the 59 b in neck.

Ok,that is a possibility.
There are so many Customs,lol Custom Custom, Custom, Custom5.......hard to choose.
To bad they didnt have something between the 59 and those,like in 10-11.0K range.

That's what the 59/Custom Hybrid is. It also splits extremely well.

You can always lower the bass side of the pickup if that is an issue, but I'd bet it wouldn't be.

How bout this combo,
Jazz B in neck
59N in bridge
Maybe 250k pots?

Still not sure,Im worse than EVH ,lol rest in peace!

I've always had the best luck for my needs with a Pearly Gates in a Strat's bridge, especially the Pearly Gates "Plus" that Fender had Duncan make for them. It's got an A5 magnet and is a little hotter in my opinion. I don't think they make them anymore but you can find them on eBay once in a while.
