Hot Strat / Balanced Tele

[Darran]

Hi everyone

I'm buying a USA strat soon and wondered what the hottest pickup configuration would be. I used to own an Ibanez JS1000 with a Dimarzio Fred in the bridge and a PAF pro in the neck; what pups would get me closest to the output they produce?

I'm also looking for a neck pup to match the bridge Lil 59 in my ash-bodied USA Tele; I currently have a STK-T1n in the neck but I'm not satisfied with its output. What, in your opinion, would compliment the bridge Lil 59?

The tone wizard reckons a STR-3 Quarter-Pound Rhythm.

I reckon you want another humbucker though. Why don't you just mod it to take a Li'l Screamin' Demon or another Li'l '59?

Cheers Octavedoctor.

Anyone else got any suggestions? They would be much appreciated.

Why don't you just put a Fred and Paf Pro in your strat? You just needa different pickguard.

Or you could try the new Mo Joe which is supposed to be similar to the Fred
