neck pup suggestion to go with SH5

[jammertom]

Heya--just looking for suggestions for a neck pickup to go with SH5 Bridge pup on a MIM HH Strat--single volume, single tone, 3-way switch, push-pulls for series/parallel. I have a '59 neck that I liked a lot in a Les Paul...not sure how it will sound in this Strat. Would a Jazz or even something else be better for classic and hard rock (Travers, Nugent, UFO, Priest...). Not looking to duplicate any particular tone--just want something versatile that matches well with the Custom....Thanks!

Pearly Gates is the best humbucker I've used in a strat.

Pearly Gates is the best humbucker I've used in a strat.

The Pearly Gates is also the BEST bucker I have ever used with a Custom. Its almost like it was made to be paired with the Custom. The jazz and 59 are good but, the PG is by far the best!

The PGn works great paired with a SH-5 Custom.
