Re: Rebuilding an old strat
If you don't use the middle pickup or the middle combinations . . . maybe go with a teleish setup. A tele neck pickup works as well as a humbucker for smooth, clean jazz. Paired with a tele bridge pickup (or a twangbanger) it should get you a little crunch from the bridge.

I setup an LTD ST-213 Strat with a STK-S4 neck and STK-S7 bridge, dummy middle single coil (because I don't like the look of 2 singles on a Strat). Really like the middle position (both pickups in parallel). The bridge can crunch or stay clean as you like. Those pickups are noiseless.

If you don't mind going Dimarzio, I personally have always liked the sound of the Cruiser. But maybe that's just because it's Andy Timmons playing it.

Re: Rebuilding an old strat
The Demon and the 59 go great together, it's been my favorite HH set for a long time now. I ended up doing mag swaps and whatnot, as well as swaping screw poles around in my SG copy. Ended up with a Demon A8 double philister screws, and the 59 A4 with the hex screws from the demon then threw Artie's de-mud mod on the 59 to clear up the low end a bit more. But that's just nit picky stuff. The stock Demon and 59 are great pickups, especially together.
