Looking for special set of single coils for my Strat. My Strat is alder with an ebony board and tends to be a little midrangy and stiff sounding.
I've had success with Fender Custom Shop 54s, and a custom set with A2 magnets (super low wind). I've tried Lollards Blondes and while they're great sounding pickups, they did not work in this guitar.
I think I prefer a 50s wind, in the 5K range (with a hotter bridge). Something with a scooped midrange but not too chimy and bright. I'm not looking for the traditional, 60s Strat sound.
I think alnico 2s sound good in this guitar.
Any thoughts?
