Which Seymour Duncan single coil sized humbucker?

Hi,

A simplified version of a previous post. I have a Vigier Ultra Blues - HSS. Maple neck, alder body, maple cap - superstrat style 24 frets.

I love the neck pickup but also miss a humbucker - so looking for a neck single coil sized humbucker that I can use as a humbucker and then perhaps as a single or wired in parallel for those more single coil type sounds.

SD pickups should drop straight in, as opposed to Dimarzio which as standard come with a flange.

The currently wiring is as follows (note position 3 - neck and bridge), so I want to make sure it balances well with the existing DiMarzio Virtual PAF bridge pickup.

Pickup brand name : DiMarzio
Type of pickup : H/S/S
Pickup model : Virtual Vintage DP415
Virtual Vintage DP415
Virtual PAF

Pickup selector:
1 Neck pickup
2 Neck & middle pickup
3 Neck & bridge pickup
4 Bridge & middle pickup
5 Bridge pickup

I look forward to your recommendations!

Thanks,
Andy

I'd get a rails model, both because it will look more like DiMarzio that is already there, and the blades have a stronger magnetic connection with the guitar strings, so you get more output. The twelve little screws look cool, but they have a weaker sound. Of those, the Hot Rails is likely to have the best split or parallel tone.
