I want to get a nice set of Duncans to hit the preamps on my tube amps strongly enough to produce good single note leads with sustain and body, not thin. I am thinking of SSL1 staggered, Alnico II Pro staggered, and SSL5 staggered. The SSL5's seem like they would be great. The SSL1's might be...

Yeah. A brand new MIM black strat today. I'm wondering what would be some highly recommended pickups to replace the supposedly mediocre ceramic stock pickups. I want to get some quiet but very musical pickups that put out everything from a smooth mellow low end, up to a shimmering high end...
