poll to help me choose the most versatile and modern sss combo

[nieveulv]

ok finally decided on these combos after my long search of pickups ok so heres the choices in the poll

HSo my style of music is (radiohead, muse, coldplay, luna sea, alterbridge, porcupine tree and this guitar will be used for modern rock and alternative)

basically a rock and alternative guitar for searing and singing lead tones and rythm (sugizo of luna sea and steven wilson of porcupine tree are a good example), and clean atmospheric tones (eg. coldplay, radiohead) . No vintage tones for this guitar, however, clean tones is a must!!! (coldplay, radiohead clean modern tones, not vintage straty tones as i have strat for that.

Also, is wiring 2 singlecoil in series gives it a meatier tone? Because thats what im planning on doing as it would make the guitar more versatile with some semi humbucking tones. I dont need straty position 2 and 4 quack tones because i have a strat for that

why not cool rails neck, vintage rails centre/middle & hot rails bridge?
or maybe lil' 59, duckbucker & jb jr.?

How do the vintage and classic compare?

I'd go Classic/Classic/Custom or Vintage/Classic/Custom. I don't think you need the heat of the Hot in the bridge, with the Custom and some pedals you can get just as heavy and nasty as you'll want to, but you'll also get the cleaner side of the bridge too.
