need help choosin pickups

[hellrider77]

hello, i need help choosing pickups for a strat. i have a mexican standard with rose wood neck and alder body. i have put a 62 re-issue trem on and vintage kluson tuners and replaced the nut with one made from bone. it currently has a set of seymour duncan SSL-6 calibrated set. i am going for more of a stevie ray vaughn sound like in the little wing recording. i am wondering what pick up will most closely replicate this sound. thanks in advance.

Not sure how far off you would be now... What are you using as an amp?

May be you consider this a silly question but: Do you have the tapped version? If you do so: Have you tried to use it?

I don't know much about the SD strat single coils but knowing that SRV had a 60's strat I think an alnico II pickup would be a good option. But I think also a Eb tuning, 13 gauge strings, a slightly cranked fender and a flanger pedal would help a lot.
