What pup do you use in the bridge of your Stratocaster?

After trying several pups,
The Duncan Twangbanger gives me the Tone I have been looking for.:smokin:

What type of sound would that be?

The Twangbanger gives me anything from a great clean Fender Surf sound, great quack in the middle/bridge with the 5 way switch, and the best thing, it sounds great for high gain overdrive. IMHO, this is the only Strat bridge pup that does it all.

+1 I'm having a hard time trying to find something it Can't do? It passes all my test's with flying colors.

One Strat has a Super Distortion, and the other has an EMG-81.

1 Strat has a Bareknuckle Crawler humbucker in the bridge, while another has a Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot Custom bridge pickup

I tried the TB once. Great pup, but a little too much "twang" for me.
I have a Vintage Rails in the bridge of one, and an SSL-3 in another.

Both Custom Antiquity Bridges.One rewound and tapped by Zhangliqun.I like the Texas hot better than the TB.The surfer has much more treble but will take high gain much more clearly.

I agree. Of the single coil size bridge pickups, I like the Texas Hot Custom best of all and I like it a little better than the Twangbanger. Not that I don't also like the Twangbanger...I do, and I use it too! But the TH Custom bridge seems to have more complexity and texture to the tone whereas the TB seems a little more one dimensional.

Lew, do you have any pics of your Hamer Daytona? Those are the same pups I am using in my 2001 Fender American Series Strat.:smokin:

I do, but it seems like anytime I try to put a photo on this site I get a message telling me it's to big! My Daytona is a beautiful Sea Foam Green model with a mother of pearl pickguard. It's not a super-lightweight and it sounds fairly bright, so the Twangbanger is a good match for it. It came with three APS-1's and I removed the bridge pickup and put a Twangbanger in it. Lew
