I’d read that the reason those guys played a load of wacky shaped offsets and what have you was because they were unpopular with most players, and therefore cheap. It was a lot about attitude and making a racket, and less about particular gear, I reckon.
But I've seen a fair few jags with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups fitted.
I'd honestly take it to a guitar tech if you have never wired a guitar before.
I'd also stick with single coils myself. It can seriously get you the sound you want.
Seymour Duncan also make hot Jaguar pickups that will have more oomph than what you have.
You should have a think if you really want to do all that really. Don't just rush out to buy pickups to then be disappointed.
Me personally, I'd just change the stock pickups for a set of custom Mojo's. Or at least the bridge. I wouldn't go the humbucker route if I could avoid it.
If you like how your guitar is currently then maybe a second guitar with a bridge humbucker is the better option. You'd have two guitars with different sounds to mess about with after all.

Look at the photos. It doesn't really matter what you use... Strat.. Tele... Jag... Single coil... Humbucker...

And seriously, go down to the guitar shops, play some guitars, buy one if you find one you fall in love with.
Don't worry about single coils or humbuckers, either can do what you want.
I think PRS guitars don't tend to have the raw spikyness and character for those sorts of tones. Likewise hi-gain superstrat Ibanez thingies never seem to get in the ballpark either.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
They do pop up on the UK used market, so no need to worry about importing etc. That link I sent you is a fellow Fret Board member selling his Cyclone here in the UK. Great looking guitar.
Give him a shout and your close by you could always check it out.
