Howdy.

I'm swapping out the stock pickups on my guitar for some Custom shops, just don't know wich one would be the best for me. I really really like that mayer tone! I own an am delux strat and a blues deluxe tube amp.
Any advice?

The CS 54 tone is a more "aged" tone with more of a woody tone and a bridge pup that has a nice balance to it. The CS 69 tone is a more scooped NOS tone with more highs, less mids, and more lows. As a bridge pickup, the CS 69 can often be a challenge to dial-in.

Well it might help that I'm not installing any bridge pup!.. I'm leaving the humbucker where it is, pleased with that one.
I'd like to nail this mayer sound:

I favor the CS69s. They are a great "all around" Strat pickup in my opinion.

If it helps, they are both playing Clapton Crossroads Strats. Vintage Noisless pickups with, I am assuming, TBX control.
