I've heard lots of good things about Seymour Duncan JB's for a Strat bridge p/u.

I was considering one for mine, but am leaning towards a Lace dually for flexibility.

I had a Seymour Duncan JB in my Deluxe for a while, never liked it. I found it to be a one-trick pony, it does that huge midrangey screaming overdrive sound and nothing else. Useless for clean tones or even slight crunch, horrible pickup. The Duncan Custom is a far better all round pickup if you're set on Seymour Duncans but for my money I'd have a Bare Knuckle Crawler.

Lace Alumitone Deathbucker these things take metal to big levels yet have a crisp sound when you want. They are Black finished aluminum.
