Need help picking a good humbucker for HS strat !

[jackjoseph_]

Hi everyone, I recently started my first project( Squier Strat rebuild) and i purchased a pickguard from warmoth with an HS configuration. Im looking for a good bridge pickup with a great distortion sound but also with some versatility for other genres. I like Metal, Hard rock, the blues. I'd like to put a hot rails in the neck. The top ones I found so far are the; JB, Invader, Distortion and the jazz. I already have the JB in another guitar and i'd like to try a different one.
I'm new to picking PU's, so some advice/help would be great.
Thanks!

In the duncan realm, I could suggest you get any of Duncan Custom variety and put an Alnico8 magnet in it. I think they'll even do that for you if you order it as a floor shop custom directly from duncan. Very versatile pickup!

It's hard to beat an Invader in this scenario. Make its' "normal" operation parallel. Then use a switch to move it in to "turbo" mode. (Full series.)
Works great, sounds good.
