Ive got an Ibanez rg, HSH config and im changing the pickups to probably a distortion bridge and jazz neck, Im looking for suggestions on what pickup will be a good match in the middle? I was thinking maybe a vintage rails but having never tried one before i don't know how it will sound split with the other two?
Any ideas?
 
Re: pickup suggestions?

The Vintage Rails is a nice pickup. But it will be way too low output to match with the Distortion. It would be a good match with the Jazz neck, but the volume drop would be pretty significant. Volume wise, I much prefer the Cool Rails, but then you get into the issue of having a 3 humbucker guitar with no single coil tones. If you want a single coil that can match output with a Distortion, check into a Quarter Pounder.

Thanks for your reply, which version of the quarter pound should i be looking at the regular, or rw/rp or the tapped , i want hum cancelling so i guess the rw/rp version, what does the tapped version do?

Thanks.
