I've had this Eastwood Guitars Airline 3P DLX for a while now which has it's stock 3 humbuckers... they sound alright, but the middle humbucker has started to crackle and has lost a lot of it's signal, probably just a wiring problem but either way I was considering changing the pickups in the guitar.
I play blues rock in a two-piece band with myself and a drummer... our style is like a mixture of old Black Keys, Jimi Hendrix, Ash Grunwald, and Seasick Steve... with a bit of White Stripes somewhere in there too. I use this guitar in standard tuning and another Eastwood Guitars Airline Map with Seymour Duncan P-Rails humbuckers in half open G for slide work. I run these through a few effects (distortion, fuzz, delay, etc) into my Marshall 1959SLP plexi head and 4x12 cab.
I was considering putting some kind of blues humbuckers (Seymour Duncan SH-1 Vintage Blues?) in bridge and neck, mixed with a humbucker-sized P90 for the middle... Would this combination work well together for what I do? I'm after a warm tone, that can handle heavier distortions without sounding too muddy...
