Looking for a new set of pickups for my guitar.
Preface:
Playing a custom strat with a rosewood fingerboard and alder body. Brass nut, Callaham bridge. Current pickups are custom wound to vintage specs (around 6.4K?)... Playing out of a Blues Jr. type combo. Playing mellow bluesy stuff with the tendency to get a little heavier and dirtier. Mostly a clean player...I use a variety of effects (mostly overdrive).
Looking for:
A set around 6K (neck, middle). Likely Alnico V magnets, something warm and not TOO bright. Not super glassy. I like the output of the CS 69s, but they're too bright for my taste. Some sort of "scooped" mids would be nice. I'm mostly a clean player, so I'm looking for something that will give me the classic tones... Most importantly in Neck, Neck/Middle, and Middle/Bridge.
So far, I'm a fan of the Lollar Blackface and Blonde pups. I like the Bare Knuckles Mother's Milk set too. The Klein 1957s sound good.
Based on the specs of my guitar and the sound I'm after, what do you think? I know this is a tough question but I'm only looking for suggestions. Thanks.
