Noiseless or Regular Single Coil Pickups?
I use a STK-S6 in the neck and STK-S7 in the middle position. Both are noiseless/stacked pickups.

Im not very particular on noiseless pickups. However I were to settle for noiseless pickups, your setup would be the most likely choice.

May i know what value of pots and caps that are on your guitar.

I plan to have coil split function of the bridge humbucker with a pull/push pot.

1) master volume - 500k push/pull
2) tone neck + Middle - 250k with 0.047uF
3) tone bridge - 500k with 0.022uF

DiMarzio SDS-1 (DP111) (RW/RP for the neck)

From Seymour Duncan:

STK-S4m for the middle
STK-S4b for the neck


Any of these others can work extremely well depending on your purposes/preferences:

I like the STK-S6 for neck and middle...all with 500k pots.

Depending on how much 5.5k you want out of the JB, 250k may be a better choice.

He could use a 500k pot and stick a resistor in parallel with the pickup in order to get more brightness/relative level out of the singles.

An A2 in the JB is another option.

Go full 500k on pots. You'll get the best out of them. Don't be afraid of the clarity. They really match up fine.

What Mincer says about the STK-S6 in both positions seems like a great idea too!

I don't use push/pull or anything like it on my Strat, only set the tone knobs and manage everything thru the volume knob. People have always spoken nicely about the tone. If you need a demo or anything, please let me know!
