What Singles to match a DiMarzio Super Distortion?

[some_dude]

I'm looking to replace the stock single coils in my S/S/H Strat. Mostly for punk and some rock. I like a good fat clean neck single tone (very important), but also want something that'll hold together under gain.

Maybe the SSL-5 Customs??

From the Duncan website - Custom Staggered SSL-5 These are the Seymourized™ versions. They look like the SSL-1 and have the distinct vintage tone. However, the stronger magnetic field and custom coil give you higher output, more sustain, and great harmonics.

In the late 70's DMZ came out with the SDS-1 Super Distortion Single Coil, made to be a good match with the Super Disortion humbucker, having two ceramic magnets, adjustable pole pieces, and a magnet spacer, much like a p-90. They were wound to about 8K or so, and sounded pretty good. I've found it that DiMarzio single coils sound a hell of alot better than their humbuckers.

Dimarzio single-coils are simply fantastic.
Following Beandip idea, there's a few of them on eBay right now.
