Hey everyone, new user here to the forums!

Been looking around for a good set of pickups for my MIM Strat. On my own practice time, I play lots of bluesy/Classic rock stuff. Hendrix, Zeppelin, RHCP, etc. So because of guys like Hendrix and Frusciante, I play lots of clean in the neck. I've seen lots of videos and reviews and am totally sold on the Antiquity II Surfers for the neck and middle pickup.

But because I also like to get a bit gritty with OD/distortion, I'm looking for a bridge thats a bit thicker to accompany the surfers. I'm also going to be jamming with a ska band soon, so the surfers seem perfect for cleans and a thicker bridge is preferred for power chords.
I was thinking of maybe getting an SSL-5 for the bridge. What suggestions do you all have? Maybe a Texas Hot?

input is appreciated!

You just need a surfer bridge... That will cover all the things you mentioned.

In my Fender AVRI '62 Stratocaster, I use a Twangbanger. (For phase relationship reasons, I had to reverse the TB output conductors and modify the baseplate ground connection.)

Any of the hotter, bridge position Antiquity pickups would do fine.
