Re: neck strat pickup help!!

Get a real Strat pu, like the SSL-1. The Lil 59 is designed to make your Strat sound more Les Paul-like.

get emg, livewires, or if you want some real good neck tone, go with the dimarzio chopper.

If you want clean strat sounds go for clean strat pickups, like the SSL-1 or Antiquity Surfer.

+1. The SSL 1 is the original strat sound.

Noiseless pickups are pretty sweet and still hold that single coil vintage tone. The Fender Hot Noiseless pups in my guitar give me a bell like clean and keep up with low gain to high gain.

Try a Fender Tx. Special. Got a great clean strat neck sound and easy to get your hans on too.

I've used ssl-1's, aps-2, texas hots. I've concluded that I'm an alnico-5 magnet fan in strats. I dig my Tex hots, but there's nothing like an A-5 neck and mid pos. in a strat.

Get some ssl-1's. They're one of the best values in pickup upgrades. Disregard any issue about the fact that they're not antiquities or some other boutiqe line, they'll clean house on 95% of strat pups out there.

I just got reminded about the Fender Custom Shop "Fat 50's". Great pups for that classic strat sound. They also sound great w/ all my pedals. Sorry I forgot, I have them in a '69 strat that I haven't played in a while. Now I will.
