Cool Rails for Strat SCR-1
Quarter Pound Staggered SSL-7
Twang Banger™ APST-1

My next project is to rebuild my Fender Strat w/ Maple Neck

I'm looking for a bluesy/country twang sound

i.e.
BB King/Clapton/SRV/with a nice twang
:usa2:

I've used the flat QPer. Fat powerful SC pup. It would be great for blues rock, and if you get the tapped version, it sort of goes back to a vintage output/tone.

I've only used the tapped version in a Tele, and while the tapped mode isn't quite a vintage Tele bridge twanger, it did the trick ok.

-The Quarter Pounder is a hard rock pickup and a pretty good blues pickup. With 250k pots their too dark and with 500k pots their a bit bright. Shoot for a pot around 375k.
-The Cool Rails is a good blues pickup and can also do jazz fusion, but not country.
-I have no experience with the twang banger.
-You may want to consider the ssl-5 & ssl-6. The customs can do nearly anything and they can take a lot of distortion and still sound good.

I agree with the previous posts: the CR is NOT a "twang" pickup. It IS a powerful, warm pickup, though.

Re: Your thought on these 3.....

Neck: Cool Rails for Strat SCR-1
Middle: Quarter Pound Staggered SSL-7
Bridge: Twang Banger™ APST-1

this was the order I was thinking of

I dont think the middle position of a strat is suited to much besides low output true singles. You'll destroy your notch positions if you use something hot like the QP.
