In my new band, I have a need for 3 guitars. I have a Rev Daredevil tuned down a half step using humbuckers (stock). I have a Les Paul Classic in standard tuning with Motor City BlissterBuckers. I also have a Am Strat SSS with Bill Lawrence L200s and a L298 in the bridge. The issue I'm having is that the Strat output is below the humbucker guitars. Both of the bridge pickups on the humbucker guitars are in the 13-14K range for resistance. I'm not sure about the BLs, but it's lower for sure. I was thinking of getting a Strat in a HSS config but I've come to find that the Diamonback HBs that Fender puts in those are only around 8.2K which is more classic PAF territory. That doesn't seem like it's solve my output matching...so, I have to use dist/od pedals on the clean to match my humbuckers amp drive output.
Any other methods I could consider? I'd like to simplify and not use any drive pedals or boost pedals.
