Ok, I have a fairly silly question, but anyway...

I have several strats, but for practical purposes i need to have humbuckers in one of them. (One of the bands I'm playing in is playing a heavier type of music and my vintage style pickups doesen't sound right for it. And even if I am grown up I like to play some Satriani stuff once in a while, anyway :) )
So I have come to the conclusion that i will buy a set of dimarzio blades (protrack, chopper and fasttrack II).

But, and this might be the silly part, I really hate the look of blades in a Fender strat. So the question is, does there excist regular looking pickups that work similar to the above mentioned pickups or at least get close. (the HS-3 f.ex. doesen't, I think).

I hope someone know about some or else the dimarzios is going in.

I've never found a humbucker Strat pickup in the six pole piece design which does what you require. There are plenty of high powered single coils that do (as a matter of fact, I use them myself) but again, these aren't humbuckers.
