Fat Strat (H-S-S) pickups

[PhatStrat]

Hey all,

I am looking to replace the TexMex pickups on a California Fat Strat. I listened to the audio samples on this site, and seem to have settled on the APH1 for H, and then two APS1's for the S's. The other option I was considering was to use a Pearly Gates for H, and Fender Texas Specials for the S's.

Any thoughts or comments on these two configurations? And if you would recommend one over the other, why? OR... if you would recommend another setup altogether what would it be?

Thanks,

PhatStrat

I have a PG in my strat, w/ SSL-2's, and I love the PG but am also thinking about an AP2 for the neck only. PG works well w/ my SC's by keeping a little further from the strings. Just my opinion!
