welcome to the forum!

the scorcher is really hot. i dont know how itll sound in series in the neck, might be very dark or muddy, but in parallel it might sound great
 
Re: Pick up Question

I think it would be better reversed: Scorcher in the bridge, Demon in the neck. You are bound to have some volume balance problems if you install them like you say. Maybe as jeremy said, wire the Scorcher in parallel, which will tame it a bit.

That's so weird... I have that combo (Demon, Scorcher.) Scorcher is way backed off due to the output, and is pretty muddy. It's a place-filler for now (believe it or not, I've used it as a place-filler neck pickup more than once.) The Demon is a great bridge pickup for my style.

Are these your only pickup options?

If so, put the Fender single in the neck, the Scorcher in the middle and the Demon at the bridge.

You're still going to have some notable output differences between the positions, but that should balance all 3 positions as well as possible and provide more clarity from the Scorcher than if you put it in the neck.
 
Re: Pick up Question

id try the scorcher in parallel, might be pretty good and will help with the balance issue. less output and a brighter/less bassy tone
