Fat Strat

[xStonr]

Hey, I'm thinking of swapping out my stock pickups in my MIM Fat Strat and I'm kinda confused which pickups to get. I like to play Blues and Classic Rock.
I'm looking for tones ranging from David Gilmour to Hendrix to Zep to Clapton. All suggestions would be appreciated.

SH-14 Custom 5 should get you there, and it will also do heavier Rock/Metal if you need it too.

Hmm...some of those guys used single coils (Gilmour, Hendrix, later Clapton), but you could try a 59 set. If you use a 5 way switch you could wire it to split the coils in positions 2 and 4 for a more stratty tone.

Re: Fat Strat

I definately want to get a humbucker that will be split to get that classic Strat sound when needed. The question I have is which pickups to get.
