hi everyone,

for a single-coil size pickup, which one would have the brightest, most detailed, stinging high end? i'm looking for a pickup that has pronounced clear treble with high output even when played clean or when the strings aren't struck very hard (i want it to be very sensitive...)

some candidates might be (based on the sd tone chart):
SSL-1 / Vintage Staggered
SLS-1 / Lipstick Tube for Strat
SHR-1 / Hot Rails
STL-1B / Vintage for Broadcaster Lead
SJAG-1 / Vintage for Jaguar

any recommendations would be highly appreciated...

thank you!

Re: treble with detail and high output?

I'd think the SSL-1 or Antiquity Surfer for vintage output and something like the Quarter Pounder for higher output would fill the bill.

What about the twangbanger?
The Quarter Pounder? I found it very middy. Great at bridge pos, muddy at neck position.

thanks for the replies...

i'm thinking of either building my own guitar (don't ask) or putting them in a japanese jaguar reissue.

can you comment on these picks? (i went by the eq rating in the sd tone chart)
ssl-1
svr-1
stl-1
sjag-1
shr-1

thanks!
