    Default Point me in the direction of some HSS pickups for my strat

    Righty ho. My 1970's replica (Mex) Strat is improving. The locking tuners and removal of the string trees has sorted out my tuning issues

    next up are some pickups. I'm looking for an HSS layout, with a coil tapped humbucker. Single coils hotter than standard but not stupidly so - maybe Texan hot perhaps, and I'll be happy with a lowish output humbucker as i'm no steve vai.

    reducing the hum wouldn't hurt.

    any recommendations?

    I'm trying to make this guitar a great strat (in sound) but also be flexible enough to cover for the LP if I go breaking a string or something. I could be tempted by a P90 in the layout but they look bloody awful (IMHO).

    Many thanks

    Nick
