Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the best humbucker to go with a STL-1b would be?
Any help would be greatful.

Re: Pickup question
Er, it might have helped if you narrowed things down a little by mentioning what woods are in your guitar, what amp(s) you use and what sound(s) you are hoping to produce.
Generally speaking, to achieve a balanced bridge + neck combined tone, you will be choosing from humbuckers of "vintage" output and tonality. That probably means a '59, an Alnico II Pro, a Pearly Gates or a Seth Lover model. IMO, chrome/nickel-covered humbuckers would look better amongst all that other metal.
Alternatively, I like the Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini-humbucker on the Fender Hot Rodded '52 Telecaster. Visit a Fender dealer and see what you think about this pickup.
