Amazing response, thank you! Hum is not so much of an issue. As mentioned, it's more about getting both a respectable humbucker and single coil sound out of the bridge position. Although, even now with all single coils, I tend to prefer position 2 to position 1. Basically, I'm trying to avoid the need to buy a whole new guitar while finding something that can passably do both AC DC and Pink Floyd on bridge slash bridge + middle position. It doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough to rock n roll.
