Title: Strat pickup recommendations
Post by: Jimmy John on March 06, 2018, 10:52:57 PM

I'm looking for a nice set of single coils for a strat build, but I'm having a hard time deciding on one. I'm looking for pickups with a good bit of midrange, and so far the best sounding ones in demos and audio clips that I've seen were the BKP slowhand set, and the SD hot strat set. If anybody who has tried one or both could give me their opinion on them it would be appreciated! Also any other pickup recommendations would be cool too, just as long as they're normal single coils. All advice is welcome! :cheesy:

Slow Hands are pure magic, as all Bare Knuckles I have tried are,  they just don't  sound anything like classic strat single coils at all to me.  I don't know the SD set but if you want fuller mids than classic single coils and more output, but still  the strat sound we know, you will probably be recommended the Irish Tours.  In general I would take Bare Knuckles over production Duncans any day, but depends on one's goals too, of course.
