  • Pickups To Go With Custom Shop Pickup

    I got a used Custom Shop neck pick up for a strat i'm working on. It's alnico V and measures 4.71 (according to the box and my measurement). I'm not sure what pickups I should put in the middle and bridge. I have Alnico II Pro in one strat and SSL-1's in another. Would the antiquity II surfers be a good match? I had wanted to try a twangbanger in the bridge before I got this pickup, but I don't think it will work with such a low output pickup.

    The Surfers should be a great match, and they are remarkable pickups. The Twangbanger shouldn't be a big mis-match, though. There is more string activity in the neck position, so a more powerful pickup in the bridge can really work. I think it would be just fine.

      4.7k is pretty low if its #42 wire, what else does the box say?
