H-S-S Pickup Question


I've got an RG560 and I'm going to replace the stock pickups. I play in a praise band at church so I need some versatillity but I also play a lot of 80's music at home. Stuff like Dokken, Iron Maiden, etc. I'm thinking about going with a Dimarzio Mo' Joe in the bridge but I'm not sure what would match up with that as far as singles in the neck and middle go. I play lead in the band and would like something in the neck that get's a creamy lead tone but can also clean up well.

Any ideas????

You could go with a Chopper in the neck, to give you a full humbucker (but single-coil sized) which you could coil split if you wanted.

I was kinda leaning towards that but I didn't know how it would pair up with the Mo Joe??

I have the tonzone S, pretty nice tone, as I mentioned in another thread... more sizzle and not as bassy as a typical neck pup. check out the sound clip on the dimarzio website

Got a couple of choppers in the mid and neck pos. in a strat, and it has that thick creamy lead tone you could die for... in the middle its great too, im finding myself playing pos. 3 for the first time in over a decade
