opinions on this possible setup for frankenstrat?

[dtbman]

My buddy just rewired my frankenstrat with DiMarzio pickups insisting that I'd love them. He put an overwound EJ Custom Bridge in the Neck, a Chopper single coil in the middle, and a PAF 36th Anniversary in the Bridge. I gotta tell you it doesn't hold a candle to my other "Jimmy Herring" modeled strat with 59's in the neck and bridge. They just have some kind of mojo.
I was thinking for this frankenstrat a (59' neck, Cool Rails for middle, and a Screamin' Deamon George Lynch for the Bridge).

What do you insightful members think about this arrangement?

^^I assume a maple neck as well?

I think that setup will sound great if you´re looking for a nice articulate sound that stays clear under high gain and has a few cool tricks up it´s sleeve.

Have you tried a Custom Custom? I have one in an alder strat and it just sings in there.

since its a frankie I would say either a custom custom or the custom shop "EVH" '78 model.

The pickup that I find works best with alder though is the JB

Oh, I forgot to mention I'm playing through a Super Reverb with Tone Tubby speakers.

super reverb with tt, strat with pair of 59's. do you have a h&k tube factor too?

Yes I also have a hughes and kettner tube factor and a volume pedal. I've got the whole Jimmy Herring rig down. He's my favorite rock guitarist. My favorite blues guitarist is Derek Trucks, and my favorite jazz guitarist is Bireli Lagrene/Sylvan Luc/Wayne Krantz. I keep just those guitarists in steady rotation.......I hope they rub off on me in a special way so I can become a great guitarist as well.
