Rio Grande Pickups for Strat

Hey guys…new to posting, but I’ve surfed around on the forum before. Im in kind of a dilemma! I have a 50’s mim classic strat and need new pickups. The stock ones just aren’t cutting it. I know for sure I want to put the Stelly in the bridge, but not sure what I want for the neck and middle positions. I want to use rio's for those too..so what do you guys think...go with the tallboys, muy grandes, or halfbreeds or a mix? I would like to know your experiences and opinions. Thanks!

I'm with Rob. I love my Rio Grandes. I think they are a fantastic value and a great improvement over stock.

I'm fond of all the rio's. My parts Strat has half breeds all the way across, but the tallboys are cool too. Tossed a set of the dual calibrated tallboy/halfbreed/muy grande in a buddy's strat, and it was awesome.
