Title: What BK Strat pickup is closest to the old DiMarzio FS-1?
Post by: Prawnik on September 26, 2007, 09:42:28 AM

The pickup is going into the bridge position of a maple-board Strat that I built.  The guitar is used for all sorts of music and will replace a Fender TexMex pickup.  

The TexMex is an underrated little pickup, but I am looking to warm up the bridge position while keeping the sound if not "vintage", at least 1970's.

Hmmm.  The FS-1 isn't a hugely powerful pickup but it has a really high DC resistance, over 13K, for some reason.  Extra bass and mids, not-too-biting treble.

I would guess it has to be Trilogies, although I've never actually played them...

How well will a Trilogy bridge work with stock Fender pickups in the neck and mid?  Also, will the Trilogy have as much mids as the FS-1?
