Hello,
What humbuckers for ash body strat would you recommend?
I have a Classic Series '70s Stratocaster. Now it has HSS pickup configuration with two singls Noiseless N3 and humbucker Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge. I like rock sound, but Invader sounds too heavy. Therefore the tone of the instrument is lost in that heavy sound. That's why I want to try another humbucker.
Thank you for answers!

I think it depends on whether you want a thicker Gibson sound or a thinner Fender sound (Bar vs. Rod Magnets). It's probably better to stay away from ceramic magnets. For a more Gibson-ish sound, I would go for a Seymour Duncan JB, Seth Lover, or '59 bridge or a DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary. For a more Fender sound, a Seymour Duncan Stag Mag or a Curtis Novak HUM-WR Standard Humbucker-sized Wide Range.

Duncan JB (SH4) works well.

Put a Shawbucker 1 in the bridge to balance things out.
