Mid and Neck pickups for a Tele modern player special, with an SH-11 in bridge?

[james03]

Helo! I'm trying to choose Mid and Neck pickups for a Tele modern player special, with an SH-11 already in the bridge.

The mid and neck pickups aren't too bad in the modern player, (the humbucker was, so I replaced it) - now i'd like to put better matching replacements in to go with the SH-11.

Any suggestions? I'm quite into Josh Homme's sound, but also keen to keep the guitar relatively versatile.

Thanks!

I run fender Fat 50's with an SH-11 in my strat and they a great together. I've been through a lot of combinations and that is the best balanced set I've found. I have a push/pull tone knob to split the coils on the Sh-11, which also gives me a very stratty bridge tone when I want it.

I'll add this... I tried the lower output Fender Custom Shop 69's with the Sh-11, and while they both sounded great individually, they were too imbalanced output-wise.

Thanks - I'll look into those. Are there any others that would work at a similar output that I can check out online?

Cheers.

Twangbanger middle and Phat Cat neck should be interesting.

2 of the STK-S2n pickups.
