I want to do an HSH strat with Duncan 59's for the Humbuckers. Is there a good single coil that anyone suggests for the mid position. I want it to match the other pickups in output, and to get sorta into strat territory soundwise. Just cuz I'm lazy, I'd like to be able to order it from the warmoth website with the rest of the parts I'm getting to put this geetar together. Any suggestions?
 
Fralin Blues Special
Rio Grande Vintage Tallboy
Seymour Duncan Stack Plus


Those should work.
 
Duncan Vintage Rails will get you into Strat sounding territory without hum and common pot values.  Humbucker string spacings will also not be an issue.
 
cool! I like humlessness. And the fact that it's a rails pickup doesn't bother me that much because I don't mind not nailing the strat sound. I just wanna be able to get close with something that sounds good. Duncans are much more in my price range, so that will work quite well I think.

For more clarity, I think that I will put an SD jazz in the bridge position instead, but this does not change the question much.

Anybody have anything against the vintage rails?
