Favorite HB for a H/S/S strat?

[Toshiro]

Have you put the AT1 in your Charvel? I was tempted by it, but haven't heard too many first-hand experiences with it.

I put it into my partscaster, which has a MIJ Charvel neck on it now. I'm pretty sure the MIM body is poplar, but it's got good acoustic tone so I'm not complaining. Just couldn't get along with the Super Distortion that I had in it, too much all the time, wanted something that would work with the singles better. A guy on another forum got an AT1 and a pair of Cruisers put into his strat, and I liked the tones from it, so gave it a shot.

The AT1 seems like a more balanced EQ Breed, also a little smoother/cleaner. It's definitely in the PAF family.

Almost tempted to get another for my 'real' Charvel, but I like having a bit of variety(that has a Super 3 in the bridge).

I use a Duncan Custom in mine.

I have an Aldrich in my Les Paul and can't imagine I'd like it in a strat. It is a brighter pickup and a beefy Les Paul helps with that.

What about the EVH pickup? I've heard good things about that one.

I've got a DiMarzio Tone Zone in mine and I have to say that it sounds pretty damn good.

Another vote for Tone Zone with 59's in the neck and middle.

I have a H/S/S super strat that I'm about to buy pickups for...
I want the new EVH humbucker in the bridge for sure, but I need to find some good noiseless singles that will sound nice and will keep up with the EVH pickup's output. Looking at the hotter noiseless Dimarzios right now for singles.

What is the difference between the Tone zone and the Anderson H2+ and the Anderson H3?
which is better in a bright sounding guitar?

The DiMarzio Area 58 I have in my HSS Strat is noiseless and it sounds really nice too.

The EVH is definitely on my short list...

I the H2+, smooth, great balance, splits nicely and blends well with single coils. I also like the H2 a lot.

My favorite pup is the Suhr DSV+ Slightly hotter than a PAF type pup, it splits well and maintains great clarity with high gain.
