Hi, can anyone recommend some strat pickups that sound close to the big dipper pickups in the John Mayer strat. I was told they are low output and low mids. any help would be appreciated thanks.

yeah. There's the Fender 69's sound close, but i heard the pickups on that differ entirely from each other and don't blend too well. Also, there are Lindy Fralin Blues Specials. Those are nice for a John Mayer/SRV sound, make sure you get a base plate though so they don't sound too flat. Or there's a pickup by Torres Engineering who claim that they have mimiced the John Mayer signature pickups. I think they call it the BUZKUT. I haven't actually heard them and they're pretty underground, but a few people who have had them said they were absolutley amazing.

The thing with the CS69's is that the neck/mid position is a lot more buzzy (non-hum-cancelling) as the pickups aren't reverse wound.

A guy can always convert a middle pickup into a RW/RP pickup, you know.

There are a couple different ways depending on what kind of pickup it is.
