I have a Fender strat and want to upgrade the pickups to Bridge : Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, and the neck to Fender SRV Sig Texas specials.. but I don't know what to do for the middle.. keep it stock? toss a dimarzio in there ? I'm not even sure that a dimarzio would work with those two. Suggestions please.

What kind of sound are you going for?  Maiden?  If you want metal then you might as well put a hot rail in the neck as well.

Do you ever use the middle pickup?  If not, then it's not worth upgrading.


If you actually want Strat tone, then get Kinmans, because they are the best passive singlecoil pickups on the market.

Yeah, but that would require a new pickgaurd, or some handy hacksaw work... Wink

I think you'd have to put one in the middle too to match the outputs...

I don't know if anyone's pointed this out ... but check this out The Seymour Duncan Site

Oddest thing ... I went to the site and saw SLASH on the intro page with "This is Seymour Duncan" written below and this just below his name ...

[Velvet Revolver]

My first visit to the site .. so naturally I was surprised to see him on the intro page ...

My subsequent visits led me to realise my misconception ...

Edited to add ... my bad.
