First time posting. I have a mexican Strat that has very heavy wood causing it to sound predominantly thin and tinny. I have tried a Fender Tex Mex set, and a Bill Lawrence set and it still sounds like ass. I was wonderng if you guys could recommend a set of SD pickups that would fatten up the sound while still retaining a relatively Fenderish sound. I really like the neck, and the guitar looks cool, so I'd like to make it work as a hot Strat. Thanx

Re: Pickups for my strat
Originally posted by Bluesman75I've got Tex-Mex and BL pickups in some guitars and they all sound great through my Deluxe Reverb. Very full, bright and definitely "Fenderish".
Maybe it's your amp that's sounding thin? Just a thought.

Re: Pickups for my strat
I have a heavy Mexican Strat bodied project guitar I built.
I put Alnico 2 Pro's in the neck and middle and a Twangbanger in the bridge. I also replaced the trem. block with a Callaham trem block for a Mexican Strat.
It is now a fat sounding strat, but it still quacks and cleans up.
Look in the vault under the ultamate Strat tone, and I think you will find your answer.
