So, i was just wondering would a:

Holy Diver
Slow Hand
Rebel Yell

Sound decent in a HSH Strat (so alder body)...would have coil splits in the buckers too :)

What style of music do you play?

Well, I like a powerful bridge pickup to cover all the high gain areas...I tend to use my neck pickup extensively for cleans, and sorta crunchy rock stuff, and then the middle pickup is for some bluesy stuff...

And to answer your question joe, I play pretty much everything :P

The main thing i was wondering was do those pickups sound good split, and if they are a good match for the wood of the guitar :)

The Rebel Yell set (bridge+neck) sounds really good split with a middle single coil. Really good, period.

I like my irish tour but im thinking of changing it at some point I want something with a bit more body it always sounds a bit snappy to me, great for cleans though.

Changed tack completely, I'm gonna get a Crawler with a pair of Mothers Milk instead :P

You might like a Mule or Stormy Monday in the neck then?
