Question about Middle Pickup. What to choose?

[Henrucci]

Hi, irecently i was made a new purchase. A JB for the Bridge a SH-2 Jazz Model for the Neck but... I don't know what is my best choice for the middle pick-up my guitar is H/S/H body of Alder overlay with quilted maple and mastil of Maple with Rosewood finger board...

I need a middle pickup for the "Clean Sounds" i was thinking first in a "Blue Velvet Dimarzio" But i'm afraid that it would make a bad sound with 2 Seymour Duncans... What do you think? What middle Seymour Duncan Pick-up do you recommend?

Sweet looking axe. I'd say the Dimarzio wouldnt do you harm.
If you insist though. SSL-1 will give you a really clean sound that is very strat like.
Vintage rails or duckbucker to remove hum if you hate it.
Cool rails to balance out the output.

Just a question, will you use those in betwen tones?
Adnd what kind of single coil clean tone are u looking for? Strat bell like, or just brighter but with some good mids and bass.

Somtehing for clean parts that i will need to use the guitar like "the cranberries" style get the 6 strings sounds with the downstrokes and upstrokes but not too much gain less than the others 2 pickups to get that sound. I think brighter but the middle and bass are important too! Is so confusing to me this pick-up choosing and don't know so much about single coils .

Re: Question about Middle Pickup. What to choose?

actually, a hot rails is a good choice ... don't be fooled by the name, the hot rails still cleans up really nicely if you lower it a bit

good luck

Mmm somebody had said to me that the "hot rails" have to much "output" to put it in the middle position ( Only if the guitar is S/S/H ) but in my case H/S/H with a SH-2 Jazz that doesn't have to much 7.72k and the Hot Rail 10.80k and it based in ceramic that have to much "power" for that position, i think the mic should have a equal D.C Resistance than de SH-2 or less.
