Hey guys.. Can you tell me if these pickups would work in the mid and neck for my RG 550 ? It's a maple necked guitar and I'm installing a Duncan Distortion Trembucker tommorrow in the bridge.. I've always loved that pickup in everything I put it in, and it has alwasy sounded sweet, with great harmonics, etc.. I want to do stuff like Steve Vai, but blues too and I think it's better than the Evo for this personally.. Not as bright maybe, but I like it that way.. Ok, but I also need the other pups to work with the DD, and be loud enough, split ok, etc, etc..
So now I need a mid single coil and neck humbucker.. I want the single coil for clean arppegio type stuff but needs to split with the humbuckers well of course.. See link below for Single coil.. Two of them..
First is a SD, second is a Rio Grande.. I hear great things about the Rio.. I thought it maybe really good for single coil sounds by itself for clean arppegio stuff and to split with the DD or whatever humbucker I get?

Now what for the neck? I want harmonics, to be able to play blues to shred? What about the Full Shred for the neck? What about the PG for the neck? What about the Jazz? I want as much treble as possible with harmonics galore, etc.. That ZZ Top sound, and all the way to Paul Gilbert's song "BRO" which uses a Dimarzio Humbucker from hell .. Check out the specs on it.. It sounds like a bridge pickup almost it's so bright.. to me it does at least.. I do stuff from Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Ted Nugent, Lynard Skynard, Jets, Saliva, Heart, Jackyl, etc, etc.. so I needed a versitle guitar, etc.. I'm going to be running with a tech 21 tri od straight to the board which is the greatest piece of equipment for this use.. I'll also be using a Delay pedal, EQ for clean boost or maybe the seymour duncan boost if I can find one locally, and a chorus and wah wah.. Probably a Morley.. just to give you the background.. I've found that the Tri Od is like using a tube amp on a big pa with a pro horn, etc.. Check out the ratings at harmony central.. Most of the guys that use it are experienced like me, and OLD..hehe..

Thanks man..
