Pickups for a Start H-S-S

[lagsuyar]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a Fender MIM Guitar (Alder Body; Maple/Maple Neck) that has H-S-S layout. I want to change the bridge pickup to SH-12 Screaming Demon or SH-10 Full shred, but for the neck i do not have any clue...
Any Advice here?:rocket:

What type of music are you playing, and how do you use the neck position?

Rock, Blues, hard rock and some neoclassical metal

Do you want to retain the classic "strat" sound in the neck and middle positions?

Hot rails or cool rails?

I would like to have a balanced pickup configuration, that could serve the style that I play. I know that sh-12 is moderate output, but what single coils could be the best pair for it, I don't know... :bigok: But retaining the classic pickup on the neck and middle, wouldn't it unbalance the guitar pickup configuration? Just asking:bad:

A couple of Customs? AFAIK, they are hotter sounding while retaining the single coil tonality.
