Looking for 4 conductor mini-hum classic tone

[zionstrat]

Hello all-
It's been years since I have posted and hope all are well. I'm returning to my Lestrat or StratPaul project that I started years ago and have decided to replace the neck p90 with a mini.

I'm after the Duane Almond/Tom schultz singing/focused sound as opposed to a full humbucker. So I'm looking for a classic LP delux sound, but would like a 4 conductor to spilt and combine coils with the middle pup.

I havent found a lot of 4 conductor classic voiced mini-hums and appreciate comparision and contrasts...

A little back ground... The Lestrat is an L5 mahanany body with a maple 25.5 neck routed for 3 pups. P90 on the bridge, cool rails center, and mini neck.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome Back!

These are new for 2011, so I've never heard them, but DiMarzio makes a 4-conductor vintage-voiced minihum:

If you can believe their marketspeak, sounds like it's right in your wheelhouse.

You could also take a look at Wilde's (Bill Lawrence) L-45S

Same pickups he's using here:

Thanks Newey! That Dmarzio sure sounds like the right idea for the mini slot (and it looks nice to)-

C1- I never could see Bills brige pup, but the others look like dual blade single size... In this build, I am using this size for the middle (probalby SD cool rails or a possibly DM Cruiser), but will check out the BL for sake of it-

Thanks much and will post to let you guys know how it does!
Cheers
