    I went with single-coil sized humbuckers in one of my other guitars. I have a DiMarzio HS-2 in the middle position, HS-3 in the neck, and Steve's Special in the bridge. While the HS models are usually in bucker mode, I do have a toggle that switches them to single coil. If you want to stop down and try out those pickups I can bring it in for you, just let me know!

    I'll let you know next time I'm heading down. I'm really liking the single coils in the Al but "need" a hum in the bridge, so this gives me that solution. There's no way I'm changing anything in the Al, so the sub is my frankensub.

    Has anyone tried the Suhr Fletcher/Landau Standard yet?
    I am thinking about replacing the Singlecoils in my Strat and I'm curious about how they compare to the Texas special or the SCN pickups.

    Sorry for OT and the ball-less content!

    I had a set for quite a while- they are fantastic. Probably the best true single coils I've played. Had them in my AL, but I wanted to go noiseless.

    I had the regular set- they're very vintage sounding, very different than Texas specials.

    Also different from the SCNs. SCNs are noiseless- they're designed by Bill Lawrence. Sonically they're between the L280 and L200. If you were thinking about them I'd say get the L200s which are better and less expensive.
