Hi
I currently have a guitar tuned to B with 27" scale. In the neck it has a Seymour Duncan Hotrails and in the bridge a Bareknuckle Holy Diver. Although this guitar obviously can belt out the "brootalz", I've always loved the beautiful clean acoustic sound of it. I want to replace the neck pickup with something that will be cleaner and clearer and give me a very nice "piano" sound on the fat low strings.
I'm obviously looking for something in a singlecoil casing and see that the Cool Rails, the Vintage Rails and the "Stack pickups" (Classic Stack, Custom Stack) fit the bill. I think I would prefer something that is closer to a real single coil than a humbucker, so I am not considering the Lil' 59 etc.
Advice on how these pickups differ and which one would give nice clean sounds is appreciated!
