I've had a long-standing relationship with Dan and the guys at Torres Engineering, and I put their single coil pickups in everything I own. They aren't always the easiest company to work with, but IMO their pickups are worth it. When I got the Silo Spec, I kept an open mind about the stock pickups, but in the end I had a tone in my head that they just couldn't replicate. I thought it would be the perfect time to do a full H/S/S to S/S/S conversion. So here goes.... the pickguard is an EBMM original in Moonstone with a matching trem cover. I really like the Carbon Blue and Moonstone combination. The pics aren't that great, it's a tough color to photograph. The pickups are Torres Blues pickups, which are a slightly overwound version of their Very Vintage pickups (which are still my favorite). Awesome clarity and presence, with a full (but not overpowering) bass response. It oozes that SRV "Lenny" tone now. I added the Fralin base plate to the bridge pickup so it's got about the same volume as the stock humbucker. Overall I'm very pleased with the new look and sound!
