steve's special is great if you have a midrange heavy amp like a mesa. it's scooped sounding. it sounds heavy and doesn't get muddy.
I'll let other talk about the air norton...

A Alder Bodied yamaha pacfica with a
rosewood fingerboard.
Curantly it has a
seymour duncan invader in the bridge, nothing else, and I've blocked the trem with some wood, But I fancy the full dimarzio set in it instead.
The amp I'm currantly playing through is a cheap marshall MG-50, which isn't particularly good, but that's getting changed in the future.
For the AN, I'm totaly familiar with it's middy/bassy dist and jazzy clean sound, and having just bought a 7 string version, would be totaly content to have it in the 6, but I've heard a lot of players say the PAF-PRO offers a sufficiently different sound to make it worth a look, so I'm really interested in player comparisons between those too, and the PAF-Joe respectfully.
For the bridge, what I'm really after is a nice tight articulate rythem tone. I don't play much lead from the bridge, so I've considered the Steve's special, but having looked at it's scooped sound I have a fear that it'll sound too thin.
Highish output would be preferable, but really what I want is for it to cut through and be clear, then sing on the neck, but have some nice well defined split options to combine with the Red velvet.
Wiring will most likely take the form of:
1) Bridge / Inner Bridge + Red Velvet / Red Velvet / Inner Bridge + Inner Neck / Neck - (5 settings)
2) Bridge / Inner Bridge + Inner Neck / Bridge + Neck / Red Velvet / Neck - (5 settings)
or
3) A push pull on the Humbuckers, and another push pull to turn the Red Velvet on/off and this final Wiring
Bridge / Inner Bridge + Inner Neck (strat) / Bridge + Neck / Outer Bridge + Outer Neck (tele) / Neck (14 Settings)
The Red Velvet would probably have it's own volume pot control too, so I could access it by itself, bringing the amount of settings I could get up to 15.
Combination 3 is most likely an overkill wire job, but would be nice for recording in the studio for Clean passages and harmonic and complex rythem.
The idea really is that this guitar will just be a jamming thing at home for getting an array of sounds and recording them, rather than giging it live.
