Blues Special Tele
What type of stratocaster guitar pickups should I get?
I am looking to get a new set of pickups for my strat. I've been interested in Fralin pickups, I have a blues special bridge pickup on my tele and love it. I've been looking at the Fralin blues special strat pickups, along with the high output strat pickups. I play country/rock music and play out of a Vox AC30. I am looking for a hot sound out of the pickups. I really like the sound Joe Walsh gets out of his strat (just as an example, not only his sound). Let me know if you have any suggestions of other pickups, or between the two that I mentioned (negative/positives of them).
Please only answer if you're knowledgeable about pickups and guitars. Thanks.
They get recommended very often, but Lace Sensors really are great. They have a glassy sound to them that's great for country-style sounds (among other things). Have a look at Lace Silver and Red pickups as well. They have the advantage of having rail magnets, and therefore not causing a drop in volume when you bend a string. The Fralins are nice though, perhaps more versatile.
