Anybody got a really nice set of Strat Pups for sale?
I love the G&L, but not the pups. They're spiky and harsh and I never use enough gain to make them sound good. (Which they do, with enough gain)
I have a set of Tonerider vintage in the parts box. I suppose I could try them.... But there's probably a reason they're in the parts box.
Any suggestions or offers?

I will have a set from Player Series MIM available soon-ish. Would that be of interest?

I have a set of McNelly Nostalgia pickups. The bridge pickup has a baseplate affected by some rust tarnishing, which a cosmetic issue, but worth noting.
They are vey much a traditional vintage strat pickup.

Oh shit... OK... so that's what "cheap'n'cheerful" feels like, among all these offerings...

My Strat has DiMarzio virtual vintage and it's a really sweet sounding instrument. I want that character, but not necessarily exactly the same.
In other words, I really don't know what I want.
I'm trying to find out.

If nothing else suggests itself, Blondes are my default.AiRdAd wrote:I've got the blackface too. I think you'd like the lollar blondes too slowy

Pretty stoked with my set of Pure Vintage 65s... Especially for $99US on Amazon. Made by Fender. Every position sounds great on the 5 way, not RWRP in 2 and 4. I often use the middle pup now, that’s a new thing for me. To my ears similar sound to the CS69s, but with slightly more girth.

I think I have an SSL-5 in white somewhere if interested. It’s the one on the Gilmour Strats Fender put out. Good if you want a beefy bridge sound.

Speaking of Gilmour, etc. I may also have an SSL-1/SSL-1/SSL-5 set coming up for sale in the near/mid future.

Bro check out Q Pickups on eBay. They're handmade in Czech republic and come in a variety of flavours. They're super good, very well made by an actual man and priced cheaper than almost all the other suggestions.

Re: Anybody got a really nice set of Strat Pups for sale?
I have a really nice set for sale, as soon as I decide which set to put in my number 2 strat. Both sound incredible.
Set 1# Jim Rolph 63 pretenders. (I have two guys in the states wanting to buy them but I'd rather keep them in new zealand so I have more of a chance at buying them back in the future)
Set 2# Don Mare Night flyers. (Brand new extended wait time for them and by the time they arrived I had already picked up a set of original 63 pickups which I ended up using).
