I'm assuming the prices are higher than normal due to shortages and whatnot?

I kinda like the whole dual humbucker tele thing, I'm hoping it would still retain some of that "woody" tone I associate with teles. Either a dual humbucker tele or a strat with humbucker in the bridge position will likely be my next electric.
I posted this a while back with Mike Landau. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Extremely dynamic. I believe this custom shop Strat has Lollar Imperials (probably low wind) in it. I've also seen Jimmy Herring playing a white Strat with the same pickups.

Maybe try Scuffham S-Gear Amps

I want that tele sound, I want that humbucker sound, but I also want that strat single coil sound - is this impossible to find in one swiss army type guitar?

Single coils have a certain magic but then so do humbuckers — Larry Dimarzio made a nice living capitalizing on that in the 70s and 80s and then came EMGs. There are times where that Strat neck can sound plinky and anemic and that's why they step on Klons and Tube Screamers to fatten them up. The sound of a PAF in the neck can sound creamy and liquid but at other times a muddy mess. I'm convinced it takes the right amp, a few wiring mods, and being in touch with those volume and tone knobs. Watch the best trying to wring every drop of dynamic range out of a plank with 6 strings whether it's Mike Landau, Jeff Beck, or Andy Timmons, and they're riding that volume control.
The closest I've come to reaching the promised land is using a couple of low output humbuckers with the right treble bleed along with a few wiring tricks. I've got coil splitting on a push-pull but I never use it. Parallel can be useful with a hotter pickup as explained earlier but a push-pull can only switch it on and off for one pickup and I'm using the other one for something else — coil splitting is the easier wiring solution there. I've seen partial splits done like PRS used on a David Grissom model to thin out a muddy humbucker without completely killing it. At the end of the day you've got to find a happy medium. I love the clarity of single coils but I can't live with the noise so I compromised.

From what you're describing it seems that it really isn't possible to have a no-compromise strat neck tone in the setups I was suggesting.
I think I might have to sell my Suhr Modern Pro and get a Suhr strat with a hummer in the bridge.

Let's face it the only way to get that Strat neck sound is with a Strat. That's the recipe. It's funny how a notorious tight ass who was more concerned with saving money than tone perfected a design for that sound. It hasn't been bettered and probably never will.
However this is just one person's opinion but when I hear that sound I love it when it's clean through a loud Fender amp but when gain is added it can sound a bit plinky and thin. That's where the Tube Screamer comes in but I can definitely see why someone like Andy Timmons uses a stacked humbucker in his Ibanez. It has more meat to it to carry solo lines in that style of music and also balances nicely with the bridge humbucker. HSS can be tricky in terms of getting the output balance right.

I can see how output balance would be an issue. Are low-output hummers still capable of tight, percussive metal tones?

Not metal but what made AC/DC's tone so good was the blend of Malcolm's Gretsch with a Filtertron strung with 12 gauge strings and a wound third going into a low gain (by today's standards) plexi and Angus' SG with the lighter strings and wireless system adding more gain and compression. Together it was perfect. There's a reason why bands covering their songs never sound as good. They use too much gain. So layering guitar tracks for metal could benefit from a similar approach. Too much gain starts to sound like sludge anyway no matter how heavily it's gated.

A 10k still has plenty of punch and would kick the front end of an amp. Much below that and you'd need a boost to compensate.
Having built guitars for 8 years now, the differentce between a 14k and 18k is minimal, but between a 9k and 13k is huge.
I would stay in the 10-12k range for 'low output' and forgo the boost. Personally, I like a 14-16k in the bridge and not having to put anything in between the amp and guitar, other than to color the sound a bit.

Just refreshing my mind on modes and how they're used within a given key, also some improv techniques regarding the minor pentatonic.
I don't have any kind of structured practice routine. I'll look up some shred type licks on youtube right now and grind it out with a metronome. I find that when I learn new shapes though it always seems jarring trying to figure out how to use them in an improvisational context since I'm trying to remember a shape.

The faster one goes generally the less creative they are simply because the average brain does not produce musically intelligible improvisation at like 200bpm with 16th notes.
Even the best jazz improvisational masters generally top out at around 150bpm for pure improvisation. Players like Holdsworth, even as inventive as he was, did use a lot of preconceived sequences when he started really cooking.
I think your improvisation is your strong point but imo don't try to limit your shred practicing based on how fast you can improvise.

Players like that are a bit more challenging to copy, imo, than players like Paul Gilbert or Vai because of that type of blisteringly fast bluesy phrasing. I can hear why he appeals to you, he's got that 70s/early 80s vibe and tone but with sharp modern technical ability.
He's got a very mobile, fast picking hand and terrific mix of picking and legato. You already kinda play in that style just in slow-motion.
Which goes back to the metronome - as I've said before you gotta actually start practicing in faster tempos. At points that dude goes way above 200bpm with 16th notes.

I also used to have an insta account with a bunch of videos and even gathered a nice number of followers and then those reptilian kunts deactivated it.. Kind of demotivated me a little cause my youtube is dead so now I have nowhere to post my chit but misc where I (deservingly) get chat on for my vibrato..
Just start a new one imo, your music is atypical yet it sounds good so it should find an audience again I'm thinking. I specifically like your chit before you started wanting to become some kind of prog rock hero, your earlier stuff had this dope almost cinematic soundtrack feel to it.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I've been looking at Faulkner's technique in youtube slow-mo. Here's my attempt at a couple of them, sorta.
He does a lot of economy picking with hammer-ons and pull-offs. He sprinkles in fast hammer-on/pull-off triplets constantly in his pentatonic phrasing which my left hand has a hard time with stamina-wise and I'm not even attempting the fast bends and other cool fast nuanced phrasing he does. I throw in a few of those triplets in the beginning super slow and then a bit following the sloppy Gilbert-y stuff.
He also does this cool economy picked two note per string repeating motion that is something like below that I'm attempting around 0:21. I'm not using the note choices he's using but I think it's easy to map it out with this position of the pentatonic. It's cool in that it's basically one down stroke and one upstroke that produces four picked notes.

Why did they deactivate a musician instagram account? Were you trolling other account's posts and chit? I got a couple instagram accounts deactivate for talking too much chit to people lol.
