Which middle pickup?

[MR JimI.]

Hi All;
My project HSH Strat has:
Bridge SH-4 (16.4k)
Neck SH-1n (7.43k)
So..which of these three that I have would be most compatible in middle?
SL59-1n (9.86k)
SL59-1b (11.78k)
SSL-5 (12.90k)
Thanks everyone!

Re: Which middle pickup?

What kind of tone do you want there?

I would go with a ssl1 or a cool/vintage rail to get a vastly different tone there. Another standard sounding humbucker is mostly going to be wasted.

Thanks! I have the SSL-1 in the middle spot now..I 'll see how it does with the SH-1n when it comes in. I wasn't liking the SSL-5, SSL-1, SSL-1 set in this guitar.. just looking for a middle p'up that will play well with the 2 Hummers.

Re: Which middle pickup?

Perhaps the Classic Stack? It has more power than the SSL-1/2 and isn't quite as glassy sounding. You are also hum-cancelling in every position.

Thanks
That is the one I had my eye on instead of trying to use one from my parts drawer..I might just bite the bullet and go for it..great choice! I appreciate all the suggestions.
