I'm toying with the idea of building a Franken-Strat based on parts that I like. I have the body (80's fender elite) and neck (hendrix reverse) figured out but I am not sure about which set of 3 pickups I would prefer. I could go with the modern (and very expensive) new Lace Sensor pickups (I was thinking their Holy Grail series) or I also am considering some Fender pickups like their Texas Special (sort of spendy but not as much). Money is an issue, but for the right pickups, I could make it work. Opinions????

The only ones I can comment on are the Lace pickups... they are HOT! I love the sound they put out, and they are really pretty. I do think that the decision really lies with you and what kind of sound you want. Get what you think you will like for the ammount of money you've allowed yourself. I know it can get expensive, but you can always upgrade later.

Can't figure this one out for you, but the brand and model of pickups should reflect the type of music you play.

It relies upon on what type of sound you pass with. Seymour-Duncans provide the wealthy, clean sound that persons assume from a Strat. EMG is effective too as long as you retain on with more suitable rock-depending tones. they're crisper and by no potential practically as "warmth" sounding as Seymour-Duncan. that they'd provide you larger of what you're searching for, yet you lose versatility to play sorts of music.

Di Marzio's, man. Best pickups on the planet!
