I would choose a brighter pickup for the middle. Eg, SH-1 '59 bridge, Suhr SSV neck, or maybe a SH-1 '59 neck.
nevermind.. I saw u already orderd a SH-16 59/custom.

For a middle humbucker, gosh. I've experimented for years with that. Posted about it a hundred times as well.
The best option to my ears was a simple, classic SH2n, and then never on full blast but always with only 1 coil engaged or fully parallel for singlecoil kinda sounds.
So, I had it run this way: one push pull to engage that middle pickup, and it would run the coil closest to the bridge to the neck pickup on the switch or pot, and vice versa for the bridge. Emulates a strat. Do I still use it? Nop. but that was the way it worked best for me

The split tones will be useful IMO.
This may be what orpheo was suggesting. Personally I would coil-split to use the 59 screw coil in position 2, bridge + middle. It will quack like a strat if you split the bridge humbucker as well and also be hum-cancelling.

Sounds good. I'll have Trippe Shots on everything, so the tones will all be available.
