Hey all, I recently bought a new traditional 50s MIJ strat and I'm absolutely in love with it. Chunky neck, super resonant, very well built, all that good stuff. The pickups are ceramic and while they don't even sound bad, its just not what I'm looking for in a strat y'know? (I try to avoid guitar adjectives but I want chime and glass!) They're a little hotter, and they're tubby as well (it's a basswood body/maple neck) so I'm looking for a set of pups that'll be balanced in this body wood and lower output. The current frontrunners for me are the duncan SSL 1's and CS54's but I'm not versed very well in single coil pups so feel free to lemme know what you think of these or if I should go with something else
