Check to see what the routing on your Strat is. You might be able to fit a CC in there (with a new pickguard). Otherwise check out the Hotrails

There's nothing...as already said. I'd go to the Duncan Custom Shop and ask MJ to make something as close as possible to an alnico 2 Jerry Donahue or '53 JB Tele pickup in a Strat size. Sort of a custom shop Twangbanger I guess but more like the Tele pickups I mentioned.

MJ makes Rails pickups with Alnico magnets, I'd start there. You could also try a degaussed Quarter Pound, or lower a stock one quite a bit from the strings.

Drill holes for a tele hot rails in your strat. Seriously close to a custom custom with 500K pots. I'm surprised it doesn't have a nickname like "Tele Custom Custom". The biggest difference is in specs and not really sound. Custom Custom - Alnico 2, Tele Hot Rails - Ceramic. Still sound very close even if they have different magnets.

Straight out of the box true single coil, the Hot Strat SSL-3 has the EQ your after. 1/4lb'er with Alnico II's? 250k pots?
