Hm, i think no.
There are of course better pickups, but Yngwie's sound IS the HS-3.
For my taste it's too thin, too glassy.
If you want a hum-free single-coil sound for metal, i would suggest the live wire hot.
Very high output and clarity in one pickup.

yngwie's pups are low output, you of all people should know that.

of course i know that. The live wire hot is only a suggestion for a metal-suitable single-coil-sound, which is hum free. NOT for a Yngwie sound. Somehow i like it, but somehow i dislike it for it's low output.

Better: IMO each and every one

Close: PUH, that´s harder,....I think about the closest you can come to YJMs setup would be 2 classic stacks for neck and Middle, and the slightly warmer, slightly hotter Vintage Rails at the bridge. But depending on your amp and fingers, this may or may not get you into the ballpark

FWIW
