A2p or CC for Strat bridge?

[tenniso]

I'm thinking about either an alnico 2 pro or a custom custom for the bridge of my mexi-strat. i currently have american strat pickups now, and will keep the neck and middle. its an alder body, maple neck/fretboard.

i play rock, blues, and a little country. i have a John Spina DS-1(love it) and a Vox Pathfinder 15R (surprisingly good sounding little amp).

any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Alnico 2!!!!!!!!

The CC will have a good deal more output, but you can also wire it for a Spin-A-Split and have single and dual coil tones and everything in between.

But if you're not looking for a huge jump in output from the bridge, the Alnico 2 Pro should be fine.

I'd go with the Twangbanger.

It'll still be fat enough to rip woth overdrive, but it will blend a bit better with your middle pickup and will absolutely nail the country tones you need from your strat.
