software

finally i choose the '59 for the neck and Hot Rails for bridge!!!!!! what pu can i put in the middle for fenderish sound and hi output?

I don't really understand it, but for the Hard rock/metal query the tone wizard puts a SSL-1 or and APS-1 in the middle position. I would have expected a SSL-5 or 6, or a quarter pounder in the middle slot.

The SSL-1 and APS-1 don't seem to fit. Can someone explain this?

Fenderish sound and high output don't really go together IMO. Which one is more important, quot;fenderishquot; sound or high output? I'm not sure how you'd get both from one pickup.

The hot or custom would be my choice for a middle with fender-esque twang. The hot stack would be a quieter alternative.

The Quarter Pound is a great choice if you want high output and a fender single meets a P90 type of sound.

As far as the tone wizard goes; I think it needs to be updated/tweaked, because it never recommends certain pups. That would explain the SSL1 recommendation. Most folks feel like a lower output pup signal sent into a high gain amp usually make for the smoothest sweetest sound which would also explain the SSL1.

The APS makes sense to me because it is a thicker sounding pup than the SSL1 due to the mids.
