Strat Pups With The Most "Jangle"

An ex-girl friend gave me a creme Japanese Fender Strat in 1988 which I love and a good friend's wife bought him a black one (Japanese) as a gift about 2 weeks later. I recently bought his from him (completely stock) and immediately noticed that his pups have more of that sweet "Jangle" to them. Can any of you guys recommend any replacement Strat pups with this quality?...... I really dig it.
Thanks for any and all responses.

Suhr V54s, though the Lollar Tweeds are also excellent.

if jangle = bell tones, then go for something underwound 3-5%

Wait a minute....
You said you got a Strat from a pal,
It is a Japan import Strat & you like the pups.
Nothing wrong with Boutique pups I have had most mentioned here, But if you like what your hearing why not find out what came stock in that Strat & grab a set?
Probably costs 1/3 of the others & you like the sound right?
Lots of the Japan imports use Fender Stock pups like Texas Specials & others.
I have recently noticed that Fender 57/62's as well as their 69's & 54's pups sounds pretty dang good too.

I don't know how I would identify the stock pups other than to post a pic.
I have to rehearse tonight so I'll try to post pics after that for help in the identification of them.
Thanks again to you all.

Would probably be easier if you can identify the Japan model. Then you can look it up on a couple of the JApan Fender sites like Ishibashi & Gakki
Good Luck
