I dont know what pickups to get for my 57 relic usa strat!!

im debating bettween the 57/62's, or the c.s fat 50's.

ive heard the 57/62's and i really like them.....but ive never heard the fat 50's, but they seem very interesting.

Im looking for a nice clear, clean, glassy, twangy sound, with nice honk and quack.

im using these pickups to play blues and country, and to have that real nice vintage sound.....has anyone tried both these sets?
opinions would be very appreciated.

i've fiddled with both, but not extensively, just in the shop, i think either would suit your needs. But in my limited experience I would lean to the 57/62's. i think the fat 50's offer a bit more grit.

YMMV
you might also consider the custom 54's, since you are already having trouble deciding, may as well toss another killer option on the pile! :wink:

57/62 for the style music you seem to plat, fat 50's are exactly that (fatter) not as glassy.
