Hello everyone. I have the SDK-2 Super Dinky (yeah, the one with the fatter neck) and I use this guitar to play a clean blues (the fatter neck lends to this style real nice). I currently have the stock Armstrong made pups and I'm looking to get more of a bite seeing how I play a clean blues. Sure, the more ideal thing would be to get a Strat, full of single coils, but I really love this guitar. Is there a humbucker that has more of a single coil bite that work well with these guitars? I was thinking about a humbucker sized P90, like the Duncan Phat Cat or the like, but was wondering if there were any actual true humbuckers with a nice bite to them. Thanks.

Check out the Duncan P-Rail - p90, single and hummer all in one.
Also, Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell is a hum sized single.
I like a PAF style for blues - try one with more glassiness like a Screamin' Demon for a little extra bite.-------------------------

Thanks for the reply and tips, I'll look into those. I forgot all about the Dimarzio HFH. I also see that Dimarzio has the Bluesbucker which may be another choice. Maybe a HFH in the neck pos. and a Bluesbucker in the bridge...Originally posted by Grandturk View PostComment

I contacted Dimarzio about this and they strongly recommended the EJ Custom bridge and neck combo. They said that these humbuckers were more like single coils than anything else they had. Their second choice was the HFH and the Bluesbucker combo. I looked on their site and it shows the EJ Customs with more top end and a tighter bottom end than the others. I'm going to give them a try. Thanks for the recommendations.Originally posted by Grandturk View PostComment

P-Rails is a good shout.
Whatever you choose, add a coil split. It's very, very easy to do and will give you single coil tones from whatever pickups you have (assuming you get ones with 4 conductor wire). I have coil splits on things as hot as Duncan Distortion and JBs and they sound great when split.Comment
