-ok i am on warmoth, i am building a guitar based on everything i love about guitars. here are the specs so far. i have a semihollow mahogany (cuz i listen to zeppelin and acdc) body in the style of a thinline telecaster, with a laminated top of birdseye maple (my personal favorite woodgrain) 1 F-hole (cuz i love the way the es-(electrospanish) gibson guitars look with them, now im using semihollow for that reason, that and Malcolm young of acdc, (i play his rhythms alot) uses a semihollow mahogany body with a laminated maple top. jimmy page uses a soild mahogany laminated maple top. i decided to go with the thinline telecaster, based on personal prefferances, as i already have an ibanez wich has the popular strat shape. and i wanted something differant. - now with the pickups -pups- i have so far, i play mostly rhythm, (malcolm young)- style, ACDC, so i went with the gibson mini Humbucker to achieve that overall sound.(neck = rhythm- as for the Lead-Bridge) Pickup i went with a Regular sized Humbucker, to achieve the led zeppelin tone, -Jimmy Page- i'll get the alnico 5 magnet pickup sold separately. - so far as you can tell im a huge fan of music, and i know my way around guitars, i'm building one to order from warmoth, i love acdc, and led zeppelin, among other classic rock, Now My question is, now that i have my rhythm and, lead pickups figured out based on the type of music i Play, should I use a middle pickup to find my own style and if so, what is my best choice, my options are None (Middle) Tele® (Middle) EMG Strat® (Middle) Strat® (Middle) P90 (Middle) Mini Humbucker (Middle) Humbucker (Wood Mount) (M) Humbucker(Middle) im going to work on the neck next, AND as for the color of the guitar i went with a transparant brown, with a black pickguard because i love the way an aged angus young guitar looks, i wish there was a way to put all the attributes of those guitars into one guitar, lol thats what im trying to do, to truly make it my own creation, thank you very much for any help or advice u can give me. Tonight we roll to the guitar bite- for those about to rock I salute you!!!

Answer:
It sounds like you should have a very interesting guitar when you are done! my sugestion is a simple one, based on what you are playing put in Alnico 2 humbuckers bridge and neck with a moderate output and all should be fine. I left out brand and model on purpose because the differences are small, magnet type and output have the biggest effect on tone. I play alot of similar music and my Les Paul has Alnico 2 magnets and I can get those tones no problems. Good luck and happy hunting.
