A friend of mine has one of those old (early-mid 80s) Schecter strats. Similar to the one Mark Knopfler used a lot. It has maple neck and mahogany body.
Currently the stock pickups are in it. F500 I think they are called. As good as they sound, they are very powerful, and my friend is considering swapping them for something more traditional.
What kind of pickups would you recommend for those woods? My friend plays mostly clean (country, "Mark Knopfler") and uses sometimes light overdrive. I'm a bit confused because the guitar doesn't fall into the ash/maple or alder/rosewood categories.
