    Default Pup Ensemble

    I know there are 1000 threads asking similar questions, but the answers are not so clear....

    I currently have a Hotrails in the Bridge which I like for the hard rock/heavy metal tones it produces.

    For the neck, I would like to drop a Lil '59 in so that I can have the PAF tone for classic rock as well as the jazz tones.

    That leaves the middle pup. I want it to be a general use, well-rounded pup that will compliment both the 59 and the Hotrail when used in the 2nd and 4th positions. I have not ruled out using a HB, but I would obviously use push-pull knobs to split if I went with all 3 HB's.

    Now for the suggestions, let them roll.....

    BTW, I would still like to conjure up some SRV/bluesy tones.


    Thanks for your time and advice,

    cool rails in the neck and vintage rails on the middle will suit your hotrails in the bridge just perfect. if you are going for a lil 59 in the neck, a lil 59 or jb jr in the middle would be nice.
    the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak...
