    Default pickup suggestions?

    Ive got an Ibanez rg, HSH config and im changing the pickups to probably a distortion bridge and jazz neck, Im looking for suggestions on what pickup will be a good match in the middle? I was thinking maybe a vintage rails but having never tried one before i don't know how it will sound split with the other two?
    Any ideas?

    The Vintage Rails is a nice pickup. But it will be way too low output to match with the Distortion. It would be a good match with the Jazz neck, but the volume drop would be pretty significant. Volume wise, I much prefer the Cool Rails, but then you get into the issue of having a 3 humbucker guitar with no single coil tones. If you want a single coil that can match output with a Distortion, check into a Quarter Pounder.
