suggest some pickups for my charvel 375...

[rocksoldier]

I want something fat sounding, but with good clearity,
and i dont like when the neck pickuo is underpowered compared to the bridge.
I would also like a good split sound from the neck pickup.
The guitar is hss, but i´m propably just going to replace the neck and bridge pickups for now.
I was thinking about a duncan custom/hotrails combo, but how hot is the NECK version of the hot rail compared to the custom?
Feel free to suggest other brands as well, but please stay passive.

Is there a website to check out apc:s diffrent models?
I would actually love to give them a try [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Is the sc200 a humbucker or single coil?

The hot rails are a very hot pickup they are bass heavy.It will over power the Custom.I would look at a Distortion or even a Invader to match up with the hot rails.If you want more strat type tones and want a rail style pick the Cool rails will go good with the Custom.

Dimarzio Evo for the bridge and and Hot Rails for the neck.

Distortion/Cool Rails/Hot Rails is a very sweet set-up. I've got that in my 650xl and no one pickup overpowers the other. You could also look at a Cool Rails in the neck and a Vintage Rails in the mid for a little more versatility.

but the neck hotrail is just somewere around 10,8k or something.
The bridge version is like 16k and hot as hell, but shouldn´t the neck version match pretty nice with the custom?

To me the custom is a mellow pickup, very vintage sounding.It is good for classic rock Led Zep , AC/DC etc.. it is not metal pickup.It does not drive a amp very hard you would need a pedal to push the amp.The hot rails you do not need a pedal IMO , nor does the Distortion or Invader.
