Is there an Invader single coill Equivalent?

[boingboing]

Hi,

I'd like to change a single coil PU with the equivalent of an Invader.

Is there a single coil with 3 stacked magnets, or a single coil with TONS of output like the invader?

Thank you very much!

Hot Rails have TONS of output

Okay, thank you!

Is it noiseless like the Invader? That's the most important for me

I have a set of Hot Rails (Neck, Neck, Bridge) and they are SILENT. The only sound I get is from the amp itself. The 2nd neck has to be my favorite though. I'm not sure if it's because it's the older version. I only ever use Position 3 and 4 though.

But don't expect it to sound exactly like the Invader. It's a single coil sized HB after all It will sound very heavy though with a pretty fat distortion from what I've heard so far.

Ive had both Hot Rails and an Invader in Strats. They have different characters but they are both powerful loud pickups best suited for overdrive/distortion. I liked the Hotrails better overall. It could cover a lot of ground.

Ive seen a few cheapo high output single coils with the huge Invader style poles, always wondered what they would be like.
Horrendous probably. One in the middle of a HSH guitar with two Invaders would LOOK pretty cool though...Hmm...

I've used the hot rails in telecasters and strats, mustangs, they rock. compared to the invader, it's a little more articulate but less bass heavy.
