Triple Shot/Coil Splits for Neck Humbucker?

I'm building a H-H guitar leveraging Triple Shots on each pup. I'm using the 59/Custom hybrid in the bridge specifically because each coil is different. Sounds great but I'm looking for something complimentary in the neck. Is there another hybrid that exists (like a 59/Jazz...does that exist?) anyone would recommend for splitting coils the same way in the neck? I've built a similar guitar using StagMags in both neck & bridge and it's AWESOME. This is the next version of that guitar.

A P-Rail in the neck would be pretty interesting.

Yeah that may be the way to go. I've got P Rails in another guitar and could go back to that in the neck. Looking for any other options too. Thanks!

You could make yourself a hybrid.

If you do your own hybrid, how about a stigma coil and something else?

I understand that may cause construction issues because the StagMag has Magnet poles. But doesn't the Dimebucker use a rod magnet?

The Demon is a great pup for the neck and it splits really well. It's one of my favorite neck pups that I like better than the 59, Jazz, Pearly, etc.

But then, you really can't go wrong with a P-Rails and a Triple Shot mounting ring. Soooo much versatility! And tone for days (the P-90 coil is amazing).

The Dimebucker has the two stainless blades running over a ceramic magnet I believe.

I have to ask...what do mean by "stigma coil"? Thanks for sharing the info.

Sorry Auto Correct: should have been StagMag Coil.

The P-Rail is the only other stock hybrid. Every other one you have to make yourself.

I have a Superstrat with Triple Shots that has a JB in the bridge, and a Fret King Esprit with a '59/Custom Hybrid in the bridge, that is splitable via a push-push pot. Both of those guitars have a Jazz in the neck which works for me. I particularly like the parallel setting in the Superstrat for the Jazz.

Thanks, that is helpful on the Jazz in the neck to split or in parallel. With my StagMag H-H Strat I generally keep the neck in parallel and the bridge in series. It just sounds the way my ears think it's "supposed to". So I may go with a Jazz in the neck to compliment the 59/Custom in the bridge. Good to know someone has run it through the Triple Shot rings before.

Your post just makes no sense!

The Jazz (or any pup) can't be "split in parallel". It's either split or in parallel.
What do you mean by "someone has run it through the P-Rails before"?

You’re right. I need to proofread before I post. Let me try that again. I’ll edit the post.
