The Pickup Place / help me choose PuPs for a project strat

« on: January 16, 2016, 02:30:18 PM »

hi all,

i have a fender mexican strat. im going to change the stock pickups.

here is the list of dimarzio pickups i already have but need help in deciding how to combine them.

guitar is alder body, maple neck, 21 frets

pickups i have are:

DP401 VV 2.1

DP403 VV Heavy Blues

DP416 VV area 61 x 2

DP420 Virtual solo

this is my 3rd strat so i want it to sound different to my others. i want vintage tone so it sounds like a strat with all the qualities that make it a strat. think jimi hendrix and SRV

i have no experience with these pickups so your experience will help

further more, the dimarzio website recommends 250k vol pots, but user feedback are recommending 500k pots. whats your views?

many thanks in advance
