SSS is more versatile than HSS?

[Piing]

Want versatility? HSH With Dimarzio Bluesbucker DP163. Sweet P90'ish flavor. It sounds close to my boutique Harmonic Design Z90.
Plus a 3 position (on-on-on) DPDT (Dimarzio EP1108) to select Humbucker/Single-coil/Phase-Reverse for absolute versatility.

Great Strat quacking on pos. 2 and 4.

p.s.: even more versatile by adding a Schaller term-stop, to quickly convert it into a solid hard-tail bridge. My one guitar for all kind of gigs situations since 1994.

BTW: the third mini-switch is to combine both humbuckers (which can also be SC, depending on their individual switches).

Even HH wired up like a PRS or Suhr is very versatile.

Well, i got a new pickguard for my MX Strat so maybe 90-90 is my new favorite. Will report.

Humbuckers are great until you need to play stuff like surf or old country.

You just can’t get that hollow twang on the low strings with humbuckers. They’re too full and round and compressed. You can get close, but it’s never as good as having a single coil in the bridge.

more versatile is the HSS,i have friends that play surf and country and use HSS but for that style of music they use the neck or the 4 position

Glad that works for them, but it definitely doesn’t work for me.

There’s no way I’m getting the kind of twang and snap I’m talking about out of any neck pickup.

Given the same neck pickup, how is it different on a HSS and a SSS?

I think he meant that he needed a bridge pickup for the twang and snap.
