Strat pups that satisfies like Twang King on my tele :-)

I recently got a nice 70s Maya strat in vintage configuration and wo-oh, am happy with it. Learned that it was one of the lawsuit guitars back then. Everything is excellent except for the pups. I am asking for opinions for a set of strat pickups that will give me the same satisfaction as Twang Kings on my tele.

Don't know if this one goes here or in the Strat board but since I made reference to tele pickups, it'll be okay right here.

O.C. Duff

Contact Owen and he will make exactly what you want. Just do a search here and you can read the great reviews on them. For me, I have tried loads of Strat pups but few came close to the O.C's !!

Well rags, there is veritable treasure trove of after market cluck pluckers to choose from. It really depends on what you want to spend and what tones your looking for. Scotlands recommedation of OC Duff's is spot on. Excellent quality, tone and service at a very respectible price. If your happy with the twang kings, you might look at Dimarzios strat offerings. The Class of 55 are very nice, vintage sounding pickups. Blue Velvets with a Red Velvet ( has the base plate ) in the bridge is a very cool, toneful choice and the virtual vintage line is (imo) an excellent choice for noisless ( as are Lawrence )pickups. Lollars, Eletctrokraft, Fralins, Rolphs are killer choices. As Rob D said in an earlier post, the inexpensive alnico offerings on the Fender imports are excellent sounding pickups. You can find em pretty cheap as most people change em out for the above offerings.
