DiMarzio DP186Wh

So, you are after a SC sized pickup for the neck position. You would like a sound closer to classic single coils, but a bit more modern, more cutting through the mix and silent pup.

Well, here you go!

Very SC cleans (been using Fender CS69s for almost two decades, I don't miss them) and decent distorted sounds. Silent as a mouse, good price and good looks (if you don't mind the rails) and works great with 250K vol pots.

Now, it is probably the lowest output of the Dimarzio rails pups, so keep this in mind in case you want to combine it the a hot bridge pick up like the Fast Track 2 or Tone Zone S because it WILL be difficult to avoid any volume drops.

For reference, I use it in one of my strats with a Pro Track (or Tone Zone S, it depends) at the bridge position and a Cruiser Bridge at the middle position.
