Hola Dani,
I installed the Texas Special pickups on my Strat and I'm really happy with their performance, you can get a really nice thick blues sound out of them, the only thing that I don't like is that they are to noisy, so I was thinking maybe in replacing the bridge pickup for a single coiled Humbucker. I still don't know aboput that. |

I wonder what the YJM Yngwie pickups are like. They're supposed to be stacked single coils I think

Depends what kind of music you prefer. For classic Strat vibe, I've heard several guitars with vintage 57 pups work very very nicely and soft. For little aggressive blues, Texas Special is the way to go, for some aggressive playing/shredding in general, it would be nice to check out Dimarzio Injecktor, choice of Paul GIlbert, which are hum-canceling, and hotter.

I just shelled out for a set of Fender 57/62s in a pre-wired pick guard. I am trying for a completely classic Fender vibe, I'll post some clips as soon as I get it all working ....

I installed pickups made by Suhr on my strat was such a big improvement I was very impressed they are not cheap but totally worth it in my opinion

So many choices
The singles in my Tyler are Dimarzio Area 61's I think and I like them If you want a Hendrix type 60's thing then Rockfire 60's are heaped with praise. -------------------- My SoundCloud
