How about a Custom 5 with a Jazz neck?

Whole Lotta Humbucker set, 59 set, A2pro and/or A2pro Slash set. Basically low to medium output.

pearly gates set, rude, crisp, ol' rock tone, plenty of bite for a2 pafs

if you want something hotter for the bridge a Dimarzio Super Distortion, Duncan Custom, Custom 5 or a Railhammer Chisel

the electronics, the stock pickup switch must be okay, what i absolutely recommend you is to have a blower switch (when activated it takes the output from the bridge p'up and sends it straight to the jack) since with it you can go from playing a crunchy rythm to a big lead by pulling a pot (if you use push/pull pots)

the rest would depend if you actually use dual vols, if not a master volume and a passive treble and bass would be sweet
