Which glassier PU's for my MIJ RI 62 Strat?

I have a made in japan Reissue 62 strat. That was my first guitar back in '94.

At the times I changed the pickups for 2 van zandt blues (neck and middle) and a texas special (bridge). I was happy for years with the added midrange and bass of those pickups.

Today I own a gibson 339, a gibson Tal Farlow, a squier fat tele with good pickups and I feel my strat is overlapping with those guitars. I prefer the midrange of my tele and my 339: I'd like to change to glassier pickups to complement the tones I've got today.

What would you advice: area 58 or 67? Something else?

thanks!

Lollar Blondes or the Fender 57/62 are pretty glassy!

Thx!

What would be the difference between the fender 57/62 and the 69 set?

I have Fender Tex-Mex in my 93' MIJ Foto-flame 62' re-issue, the jap pups were too fuzzy.

I finally installed a set of custom shop 69 pu's in my strat (the pu's are dated june 2002).

They're fantastic: Exactly what I wanted and i'm actually back to using my strat more than I ever did! They're a joy to play.
