Anybody using Dimarzio p/ups in their strat? Specifically, Area '61 & '58's. If so, how do you like them? What positions? What size pots?

I'm thinking about replacing a lace sensor set (red, slvr,blue) that I'm completely unsatisfied with and using a '61-neck, '58-mid, and '61-bridge.
Looking for a versatile slightly hotter classic strat tone with no hum.

Any comments/suggestions?

I have set of them. A 61 in the neck, a 58 in the middle, and a Solo Pro in the bridge. They are pretty good. I do like the 61 better than the 58. It just seems more dynamic to me. If was to do it all over again I would just get two 61s. The Solo Pro is a much better bridge pickup than the original Solo. It's smoother and has pretty good impact. I can't say that these are my favorite pickups, but they are pretty good for noiseless.

I've responded to this post in the Stratocaster Forum.

I do use Diamrzio's in a couple of Strats. Bought a FAT STRAT off ebay a year or so ago. 13.77 kohms was the reading & man does it wail. Shawn Lane (god rest his soul) used them in his Strats & he turned me on to them. Another deceased freind of mine, Joel Shumaker, loved the Diamrzio SDS 1 & I've used several of those in my Strats also. Got a Dimarzio from out of a Ibanez strat copy & it's pretty hot too. If you're getting rid of the Red Lace p/u, give me a shout.
