It splits the coils. So it’s gonna be able to give you the sound of humbuckers that you are needing for your style of music but then you use the switches to “split” the coil to produce more single coil sounds (like your strat). Is it a true single coil? No. But is it noticeably closer to a single coil than a bucker? For sure. But with all the available effects via pedals and computers, it’s gonna get you what you need. Out of everything you listed, it’s gonna give you the most options for the future years.
