hello, i need help choosing pickups for a strat. i have a mexican standard with rose wood neck and alder body. i have put a 62 re-issue trem on and vintage kluson tuners and replaced the nut with one made from bone. it currently has a set of seymour duncan SSL-6 calibrated set. i am going for more of a stevie ray vaughn sound like in the little wing recording. i am wondering what pick up will most closely replicate this sound. thanks in advance.

Not sure how far off you would be now... What are you using as an amp?"It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott
"Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat
you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter -
Re: need help choosin pickups
May be you consider this a silly question but: Do you have the tapped version? If you do so: Have you tried to use it?
I don't know much about the SD strat single coils but knowing that SRV had a 60's strat I think an alnico II pickup would be a good option. But I think also a Eb tuning, 13 gauge strings, a slightly cranked fender and a flanger pedal would help a lot.
