The best neck and middle pickup combinations with the 2 would be relatively hot models like the Fast Track 1™, Chopper™ and Pro Track™. You can also mix it with Stratier models like the Virtual Vintage® line, if you're prepared for the jump in power of the bridge position.
Recommended For: Bridge position for all Strat-style guitars. The dual-blade polepieces can handle all string-spacing options.
