Hello GMCers!

I have this Squier Standard Stratocaster that I absolutely love. Something about it just feels right in my hands and I have been working on replacing some of the lower end stuff (ie machine heads) and the next upgrades on my list of improvements are pickups!

Now, I have been researching different pickups for a few days, but I just can't seem to find any demos on YouTube that demonstrate the tone I am looking for(besides humbucker demos, which won't work in my Strat).

So I have come to the GMC community in hopes that you might be able to point me in the right direction. I am looking for some single coils, stacked or not, that will help me to achieve a Led Zeppelin/Jimi Hendrix/Classic Rock tone.

I'm not so worried about the price as I do plan on playing this guitar long term, so I can save up for expensive pickups.

But if you guys know of anything that could help me out I would be very grateful!
