I am happy with the H2, but the ST1 and ST2 give me too much hum.
What would go best with this guitar? I would like hum cancelling, vintange sound with a little extra output, and also would best match the H2 bridge pickup.

Thanks in advance.

if you don't intend to use the split sound, then SF1's would be the best. if you plan on using the splits sounds as well as the humcancelling sounds, the Sa1R and Sa1 would be a good choice.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have the SA1R and SA1 in my Drop Top, and like them a lot. What is the best way for me to purchase?

One of the many advantages of marrying an electrical engineer....:)
Finally swapped the ST1 and ST2 for SA1 and SA1R. Will gig with the guitar ('88 Grand AM Lam) next weekend and put it through it's paces.http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad327/tadeimy/20151023_182837.jpg (http://s948.photobucket.com/user/tadeimy/media/20151023_182837.jpg.html)
