Just received my Silo Special (HSS). Love the guitar but would like the bridge humbucker to have a little more brightness to it. I guess what I'm looking for is a humbucker that retains the output and thickness for overdrive but with a little bit of single coil sparkle when playing clean if that makes any sense. Any replacement pickups out there that would fit this description? Thanks.

DiMarzio Fred or Humbucker from Hell?
I like duncans, for this week at least and I have a distortion trembucker in the bridge of my silo special, the pup is high output and the guitar is overall bright with the pup but I have heard the JB is a bit brighter and lower output with some nice growl, you should go to the duncan forums or even call dimarzio and tell them you have a strat basically and see what everyone suggests there - russ

Maybe try a 500K volume pot, stock is 250K. You'll notice a brighter sound, and it's cheap.

The Silo Special I had was definitely not too bright in the bridge position. It was a PAF Pro in there, sounded good. I could see someone wanting a little more highs tho.
