My Fender Strat is sitting unused because I don't really like the vintage SSS. I have an ESP/LTD Strat copy that I really like with STK-S4/STK-S7.

I want to remove the pickguard and replace it with an HS one. I'm thinking of putting a PA-TB3 in the bridge, just because.

What single-size humbucker will you put in the neck? I want same volume, the sound to be same ballpark as the PA-TB3, and I don't want single-coil sound (which discards the PA-STK1). I was thinking Red Devil neck, little '59 neck, and Dimarzio Pro Track. I don't like Hot Rails.

I play classic rock, blues, hard rock. I'm plugging into a Laney IRT Studio connected to a 4x12", or using an Atomic Firebox/TC Plethora X3 when going direct.
 
The first thing that came to mind for me was the pro track.

Satch track is a bit warmer, but also a bit more reactive like a single coil.

Chopper is a bit fatter than the protrack.

How do you feel about steel pole p90 types?
