Hello.
I like the look of neck single coils... and just wanna know what are some good options for that, independent of the rest of the guitar.
True single coils, stacked or mini hb, as long they fit in a sc cavity.

I can think of:
Hot and cool rails
Quarter pounder
Malmsteem's
Paul gilbert's pickups
Sc versions of humbuckers
Dmz The chopper

What else is there?

BKP sinners, they can compete with any full sized humbucker and they are true singles.

I don't have a lot of experience with different models of this type, but I love the Hot Rails in the neck for metal. They are great in parallel as well as series.

I've used hot rails, Lil 59, STK-4's as well as the Fury pups in the neck. I would ask what you're expecting from them before recommend anything. In my case I use the Fury mostly b/c I'm after a 'kind of' single coil tone as much as form factor. If I was playing heavy stuff all the time and I had to have a heavy sounding humbucker style tone in the SC form factor I would go hot rails.

The kind of single coil sound is appealing. Specially with the sound malmsteem can get out of it.
I play mostly 80s style heavy music.
I expect good cutting lead tone, good for shred.
