    Default new pups in an hss strat

    so, i just got my hands on a mim deluxe fat strat, hss, and, of course, the first thing i wanna do is strip the stocks and install brand spankin' new seymours.

    after going through all the sound samples and reading descriptions on the site and on harmony central and talking to friends and so on and so forth, here's what i elected:

    BRIDGE
    TB-6 Distortion

    MIDDLE
    SVR-1n Vintage Rails

    NECK
    SCR-1n Cool Rails

    admittedly, i am less interested in "that classic strat sound", as i have another strat for that, though the cool/vintage rails might actually aid that... hmm...

    opinions?

    i like the seymour duncan '78 in the bridge you should consider that if you're not interested on the classic strat sound. or maybe also a JB or PG.

    if you want to go sss
    i would use:
    seymour duncan hot rails bridge
    seymour duncan vintage rails centre
    seymour duncan cool rails neck

    OR

    seymour duncan jb jr bridge
    duckbucker centre
    lil 59 centre

    the strat already has the humbucker in it, and as i already have an sss, i kinda wanted to stick with the bucker in the bridge position.

    just looked at the '78 - made to order? that might be a weeeeeee bit more than i was hoping to $hell out... no sound samples on the site... hmm.
