3 Humbuckers to choose

[spitfire23bc]

Hey all, I'm trying to decide what pickups to get for my project (found here: guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=wiring&action=display&thread=1151593716 ) and thought I'd get as much input as possible.

To save everyone reading through the original thread, I'm using the UUSS scheme (guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=schem&action=display&thread=1140032553 ) and want three humbuckers (the middle of which is single-coil sized)

In keeping with the wiring scheme, I'd like the guitar to be as versatile as possible (for not too much money!)

Also, it would be good if they were all available in black!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Musical style or musician's sound you want to emulate?

I have an H-S-H as well and went with a Seymour Duncan setup as they had the most offerings. They also have a useful website with tone charts, samples, suggested usage, pictures, dimensions, and wiring schematics, etc. It'll take several good hours to surf through the choices and do A/B/C/etc comparison of the tones

After reviews, I settled on a Jazz neck, Hot Rails middle (single-coil sized humbucker), and a JB on the bridge. Jazz/JB seems to be a very popular combo for rock and louder. The jazz neck coil is good for jazz on up for it's clarity. The JB has been around for ages. All are available in black. Can't tell you how it sounds since they're still in the postal system somewhere between here and there, but they are fairly popular and available used (to save a few bucks).

Here are a few links to their website subsections for humbuckers and single coils (make sure something that catches your eye is a single-coil sized humbucker and not an actual single-coil)
