Seymour Duncan Single Coils

[Napper]

Im thinking of fitting my strat with a SD 59'er pickup at the neck,a SD JB JR pickup at the mid and a SD SHR-1 hot rail pickup at the bridge.

Is anyone familier with the versatility of this set up or any opinions?

I've never used the set up like that, but all of those pickups are great by themselves and may compliment each other nicely. A lot of people think the hot rails is too bassy in the neck position, though.

The 59 in the neck will give you the smooth bucker neck tone guys love, whereas the JBjr in the middle will give you the typical JB sting, and sing and the hot rails will grind out the nastiest riffs possible from a SSS strat setup.

Also the hotrails, unless split, aren't incredibly useable for cleans.

duncan single coils are kind of weak tone wise IMO i also like a strat to sound very twangy blues like stevie ray and i have yet to find duncan sings to be capable
