Silgles in my guitar make so many noise... I think that sth like Hot Rails may help me .
So...
Neck one must have good sound to solos but when coils are splited there must be classis belltone and sound must be warm and 'fat'

Middle one would be used mostly to clean play - sth like reggea or ska but on drive it should be agressive .


What do you think would be good for me??

Well, I endorse DiMarzio and Fender pickups at my shop. DiMarzio makes some of the best stacked humbucking single coil size pickups in my opinion. With players like Eric Johnson and Yngwie Malmsteen, who are extremely particular about their tone, you can't go wrong with a Dimarzio HS-2 or HS-3.

So what do you reccomend to neck and middle position?? I wrote what I expect in first note...
Do these pickups work better than classic humbuckers in splited mode??

My friend has Hot Rails in bridge position in his Strat - this pickup has more power than lots of classic humbuckers!! If I were you I'd choose Dimarzios

hot rails are like a double edged sword though, you get a great distorted sound but there is no tone, its really bassy. I have a bridge position one in my mustang

DiMarzio HS-3 in the neck position will work great, it will retain the Strat sound when split into single-coil. I hardly use the middle pickup, so stock pickups will work.

Most "classic" humbukers, can not be coil tapped. All DiMarzio humbuckers are set up for coil tapping (split). If you are going to use a mini toggle switch to split the coil, I recommend using a 3-way (on/on/on,). DiMarzio calls it "Dual Sound with Single-Coil Switching", it's basically series/parallel/single-coil.

Here's a link for further explanation:

Hot rails are alright but when I got mine I had to file my pickguard to make them fit and then they ended up sounding weak anyway so i would never get them again. You can also wire your singles together to make them hums, its pretty cool!

I replaced my stock strat p/u in the bridge and neck positions with Seymour Duncan stacks (Humbuckers built like a single coil) and that guitar has some serious BITE to it now! I LOVE the sound!

I think that I would split coils by push-pull tone knob . In one position I would have 3 humbuckers and in seccond 3 singles . Do this 'minihumbuckers' sound better splited than normal humbuckers in splited mode??

its true that hot rails dont fit a stock strat pick guard. its not a big job to file a bit...but what if you want to go back stock?
i find it hard to believe that your hot rail was weak...was it wired correctly? i have heard about winding problems whith some hot rails...i wonder if you were running on one coil?
i have hot rails in the neck and middle positions(and a duncan invader in the bridge) of an ibanez s540 and they sound great in both double and single coil mode.
i also have a hot rail in the bridge position , and a duncan lil 59 in the neck position of my fender strat , and they sound great coil tapped or in humbucker mode. i am very happy with my hot rails, but different strokes for different folks.
