~~I have a semi hollow body strat clone and it had P-90s in it now I am going to put Firebird minis in it. I already got a Duncan SM 1n for the neck and I have a Dimarzio that is within the 30 day exchange range so I am looking for a good match. They only have two Mini's Neck and Bridge but they say you can use them for either position. The DP241 is has an output of 180 and the DP240 has an output of 155(whatever that means). Which one do you think would be the better match up for the Duncan SM-1n.? Thanks

Output is typically measured in millivolts. A pickup with an output of 180mv is "hotter" than one with an output of 155mv. Unfortunately, the Seymour Duncan site simply describes the pickup as having "moderate output," which doesn't help much. The DP241 is specified as a bridge pickup so since you've already chosen the Duncan as a neck pickup I'd choose the DP241.

here's seymour's specs: http://www.seymourduncan.com/comparetones/view/99

from specs & description, looks like dim's bridge p'up is gonna be somewhat hotter than seymour's matching bridge for their sm-1n. and it's a ceramic. on the other hand, dim's neck will be way lower...
