I'm debating on whether to swap out the bridge single-coil of my Squier Classic Vibe 60's Strat for something with a little more beef and not as bright. Mine has the Fender Designed Alnico V pickups in it (all of the CV guitars do as of 2018-2019). I had thought of slapping a whole set of Tonerider Classic Blues in there. I checked out a few noiseless options. In the end, I think I want to stick with a true single-coil. I like the neck and middle pickups. The bridge just needs a little more. I do not want SSL-5/6 levels or hotter, not even a QP.
Looking at options in the SD catalog, the Antiquity II or the Antiquity Texas Hot seem to be the most logical choices. Might be a bit much cost wise for a CV but at the same time, it's not an Affinity and much nicer quality. Maybe the Fender Tex-Mex bridge?
Any other slightly hotter than vintage recommended options?
