Super Strat mod

[SwedeNuck]

Hello, I'm currently planning an overhaul on the Ibanez Strat in my sig and I was wondering what would make a really good bridge humbucker. I'm planning on just using a bridge humbucker with a volume and tone pot. The guitar is a bright one to start off with, vintage trem, maple board, alder body, so I'd like tog et something to tame that a little bit. It would be nice to get something med-high output knowing that the natural clarity of the guitar will pull notes out of everywhere. I'd love to get some bareknuckles (as induced by Twilight) but money doesn't permit me to do so. The Dimarzio Air Zone is on the top of my list right now, I'm also considering things such as the Breed Neck model, Air Norton, and Anderson pickups. The only thing from the duncan line I can see going in there to hold down the brightness may be the Invader, but i want to maintain clear dynamics.

Guys(and Gals) ring in with any thoughts you may have.

PATB-1 Original Trembucker sounds like it's right up your alley. Fattens and smooths thinner and brighter guitars. Has a medium high output, splits well (if you care about that), etc. Jeff_H has a good review in another thread right now about it. Check it out. Also, they look really cool.

one more bump, I'm pretty set on the Air Zone, but I'd like to get all the input I can.

Parallel Axis Blues for medium low output, Original Parallel Axis for Medium output, Custom Custom for Medium output, or Parallel Axis Distortion Trembucker for over-the-top output.
