whats a good bloozy pickup for a strat?

[drew_half_empty]

talking neck position. I'd like it voiced similar to a pearly gate, but single coil, preferably hum cancelling, with some decent output, big fat classic rock/blues sound

and, since you're already here, does anyone know if theres a good mid position on a 59/59 set? this is for another guitar, which is h/h

Maybe a Hot Stack? Not sure on which would be closest to a PGn, maybe even a CR or Lil 59. I like the middle position on H/H guitars, especially if you have a way of blending the pickups with each other rather than both full on at the same time.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

So many to choose from, but the Fender CS Fat 50's have a great blues tone, since they sound fairly vintage but have nice growl with a bit of gain. They sound more SRV than Texas Specials, ironically. My new favorites are the Antiquity Surfers, tho.

Keep in mind that you can't mix Duncans with Fenders, since they're wound in reverse of each other. Buy a calibrated set from one company. And, make sure the middle is rw/rp.

I have a set of SD Alnico II Pro staggered in my Strat. All wound for the correct position. Great blues tone, IMHO...

well the tone wizard reccomended vintage staggered's

any thoughts on them?

and i don't plan to use mid positions on this guitar, just one pickup for different things
