Welcome to the forum.

DiMarzio Tone Zone S.

[Ed Hunter]

Since you have a hot middle pup you have to go with another TZs or super d single. the tone zone S was not a great choice for the mid spot of a strat

Welcome!

What kind of tones are you after? Describe, please.

Bridge: Steve's Special
Centre: regular single coil with magnets as polepieces
Neck: Tone Zone S

I would employ a Superswitch to obtain the following PU selections;
1 Bridge HB
2 Split bridge HB + centre
3 Bridge + neck
4 Centre + split neck
5 Neck HB

MIDDLE ??
NECK The Tone Zune s

sorry for the english , im spanish and do all my effort to write

MIDDLE ?

Examine the stock Squier single coil pickups. Observe that each one has an underslung ceramic bar magnet and six steel slug polepieces.

A Kosher Stratocaster pickup would be constructed using six rod magnet sections as the polepieces. I recommend a centre pickup constructed this way.

If you require hum rejection in all pickup combinations, a dual coil Stratocaster replacement would be the thing to choose. Since you already have two DiMarzios, you might as well have a third.

Well you could put the TZS in the neck but I'm not sure you'll like the results. I'd at least lower the pickup waaaaaay down.

But, personally, I'd sell the thing (I'm biased as I couldn't really stand my TZS) and get a DiMarzio Area '67 in the middle and a DiMarzio Chopper in the neck. Those paired with the Steve's Special would make for a formidable rock machine.

I wish you luck with what ever route you end up taking.

I agree with TLD's recommendation.

Sell or trade the DiMarzio Tone Zone S. Erm, just out of interest, what colour is your TZS?

[cannabis2894]

the tune zone is color black... but not yet replaced the pick ups what i buy

I want my guitar has a modern sound like a steve vai , rich in harmonics, and it made ​​for metal
RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE

[TheLivingDead]

I mean you could leave the TZS in the middle and just address your desire for a vintage tone... But man, that lack of versatility is gonna bug ya eventually.

Anyways! I'd bet you'd be happy with a DiMarzio Pro Track or Chopper in the neck.

Why did you buy the steves special? it is not steves special as in steve vai, you want the EVO or breed/

RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE

My recomendation is also to sell the TZ and get an Air Norton, and in the middle throw a True Velvet or a Red Velvet

Feel Free to PM me in spanish

[cannabis2894]

OK i will do better without the vintage sound , what position do you recommend the pick ups ? And what would you recommend another pick up to give more versatility?

The Irish have a saying. (When giving travel directions.) "I wouldn't start from here."

If you have the original Squier pickup set, re-install it. Sell the Squier guitar. Buy an affordable Ibanez. Install the Dimarzio pickups in the Ibanez.
