Putting a middle pickup with duncan Five-Two Tele neck and bridge

[makeuacaster]

Which single coil strat pickup would match up well between the Five-Two pickups I already have? Especially need the strat "out-of-phase" tone.

You can certainly use another Five Two, or for a different flavor an SSL-1 (or 2). Generally the best quacky tones come from similar pickups, just like in the old Strats.

I'm looking for a strat pickup to go in the middle. Something that matches output, tonal qualities, etc with the 5 - 2's. Looking for that "out-of-phase' (Sultan's of Swing) chime as well as a strong middle by itself, ala: Jimmy Vaughan, Clapton sound.

It isn't out-of-phase. It just sounds good.

As Mincer said, the SSL52-1n or SSL52-1m.

Thanks guys . . . I found the 52's strats. It helps if you just look! I'll bet the bridge pickup is a little wider cause of the angle in the bridge position. That's what I'll go with . . . first.

Hmmmmm I see the bridge pickup is wired hotter! Hmmmmmmm

THE RESULTS ARE IN! Just installed the 5-2 Strat bridge in the middle and am getting exactly what I was looking for!!! Had to reverse the wiring (ground to pot lug, white to ground) but that was almost expected. I'm glad I went with the "hotter" bridge pickup instead of the middle one.
Thanks all . . .
