I need some help with a project guitar

[bludaggerz]

I have a 1971 Lyle Strat Style Guitar made in Japan. It currently has 2 huge single coil pickups brand unknown, a three way selector switch and the body is mahogany and neck is Hard Rock Maple. The necks are perfect on these i have another one exactly like this one just different color,i had 2 Gibson mini humbuckers installed on it and i don't particularly like the sound.So, with this one I want to install a Pearly gates trembucker on the bridge and WHAT should i put on the neck? I don't want a middle pickup. i'm having a Luthier make a new pickguard for it. I play Rock and blues.

First thing you need to do is make sure the body is routed to accept humbuckers. Assuming it is, I would go with an Alnico 2 Pro in the neck.

Why a trembucker? I think you just need a normally spaced bucker.

I think that a good pickup for the neck would be a '59. My friend had a similar guitar to what you described with a '59 in the neck and a PG+ in the bridge and it sounded great.

Assuming it has a Strat-style tremolo bridge, he'd want a trembucker spaced pickup in the bridge.
