    FWIW. I love playing blues and rock like yourself. I don't use alot of distortion but love a good overdrive. So as Les Paul used to say "if you have a good clean signal, you can take it from there" (paraphrased of course). I have a '71 Les Paul Recording with very low impedance single coils. Just like Les used to play. Lovely clean sound and great with a tube screamer at 100w! Point is that sometimes you don't need the high output PUPs to get what you want. Rocksongs or AC2's would be fine. I love Toneriders ( got some in a Tele I built and they are great ) and I'm sure that whatever you get will be brilliant. So just to throw the cat in, what about a Rebel90 in one of the positions for something different. Anyway, hope that confuses you more. But like I said, I'm suer whichever way you go it will be fantastic. Good Luck

    Unfortunately the Tonerider P-90s don't come in Fender spacing. But a P-90 H combo is something else to think about.

    I love this part. All the research and possibilities
