Pick ups for strat dropped to B

[tom200]

I finally found a use for my first ever guitar. I use my les paul for a full, thick, hard rock sound, sometimes in drop D. My delux start is for smooth rock/clean and a bit of blues. Ibanez s470 for more envolved solos etc. Applause electro accoustic for accoustic (obviously:smack: )
All played through Marshall TSL60 and 1960 cab.

I want to use my Jim deacon strat copy for really dirty drop tuned stoner rock.
Our other guitarist drops a comadoor flying V and the tones Im getting just dont cut it.

I am thinking hot rail on the bridge, what do you think? It doesnt need to be versatile as I use my other guitars for everything else. I just want a thick, dirty, punch with some twangy tones. kinda nasty sounding really :cool3:

twangy + nasty sounding = lil' '59, dude!

i used to have that setup.. it'll cut through the V in a mix - maybe Vintage rails or cool rails too?

my worry is the hotrail won't be twangy enough, it's got the lowest resonance peak of any SD pickup

hot rails twanged in a very cool way on my alder strat with all-maple neck...for what it's worth.
