Best humbucker for an ash strat?

[reverymike]

I just bought a Fender Custom Shop '62 heavy relic in candy tangerine nitro. The body is premium ash, and at some point I know I'll want to drop a humbucker in there.

What would be a good recommendation. I play hard rock and of course have spent plenty of time worshipping at the Van Halen temple, but I don't necessarily need a total brown sound pickup. I love good mids and a fat rock tone.

Would a Suhr SSH+ or SSV+ do it??

Other suggestions?

I know this guy has a bad rep but I have a WB Firewater in my Musikraft Charvel clone that's ash and it absolutely kills in there for the tones you describe.I found both of my sets at TGP.

Not only is it the best, but it's destined to be a CLASSIC! 30 years from now, my Musikraft will be worth a ton of $$$. It will be a household word. Like Gibson and Fender and Marshall!

I thought ash would have been bright, so I went with something warm with a lot of mids. Turns out this body isn't THAT bright... but the Custom sounds nice and chunky.
