I am trying to get a Seymour Duncan Distortion sound out of a single coil size strat mini humbucker. I have had hotrails in my 96 usa strat for around 12 years. I like them for distortion, but as we all know they sorta are a bit harsh for clean sounds. I have recently fallen in love with the SD distortion for clean and distortion. Is there a similar replacement in mini humbucker size by any company? Duncan? Dimarzio? Neither, i don't care, any company. I just dont want to cut my pickguard or have to rout it for a full humbucker. I have frankly began to dislike the hotrails overall since i tried the distortion. HELP!!
I'm not a big fan of the things so I'm not TOO much help.I can tell you, however, that the SD SH-6 is a ceramic magent, so.......yeah, ceramic magnets. That should shorten your search a bit, I guess.
You know what? No. I need to know how people can enjoy that glassy, achingly bright tone. It's disturbing. Alnico V's are so superior it's incredible there was ever a market for ceramic pickups..............sigh.
