I'm looking at upgrading the pickups in my Ibanez RG. I't is a h/s/h pickup configuration, basswood body and will be used mostly for metal and hard rock. I have chosen a custom for the bridge and a 59 for the neck. I'm looking for a single in the middle to compliment these two pickups. Any suggestions?

Personally i have had the greatest results with the SSL-6 Custom Flat in H-S-H configurations and in RG's or similar guitars, works real sweet in the #2 and #4 pos of the 5-way when combined with a splitted humbucker as well.
If you want to hear some sound samples of the SSL-6 in combination with a Duncan Custom in the bridge and neck check out this website and check the soundfiles. Most songs are played with a Vigier Excalibur:

Check it out, you ll get an idea of what to expect out of the SSL-6 and Duncan Custom in the bridge.

Real good in the neck position and real versatile as well (think:you ll be able to play true metal and be very articulate, while when switching to clean, you ll still have a great PAF sound there!!). One of the best neck choices in H-S-H configuration! Sounds real well in the #2 when split as well. VERY good neck pup sac, i guarantee you!!
If you are talking about the humbucker '59 in the neck spot, you are talkin about an ACE tone!!sac said:
