The Seymour Duncan Cool Rails is a very nice pickup for the neck you maybe should try one.

Re: Whats a good sounding single coil size humbucker neck pickup
There are few legends spun on these boards that approach the "Cool Rails Neck" legend.
For 2 years, all I did was hear about how it was the "end all" neck HB for Strat and that players were getting SRV to Buddy Guy to Cream era Clapton all from this one pickup. I finally heard one in a Framus Diablo and well,
THE LEGEND IS TRUE. If you like a bluesy, slightly greasy neck pickup with an equal amount of "beef" and "glass", this is it. It's also hotter than the word "cool" may indicate.
I would go so far to say that if I ever built a signature model guitar for myself, I would use a slanted Cool Rails as the neck pickup.
It's beautiful.

The 3rd generation Dimarzio's are really good (the 2nd were good, too)! They are called the 'Area' series. I have the 2nd gen in a Hamer Daytona strat copy (Virtual2's) and I really like them.....so much so I haven't swapped them for the Area's yet.
