If you're looking for a fatter but still vintage sound try Copperhead '59s. They're wound in Canada and sound similar to the CS Fat 50's. I do prefer the sound of the Copperheads to the CS model. The guy who winds them will also work with you to build the exact pup you want. He's relatively cheap, communicates quickly, and does excellent work. He also offers a 30 day unlimited warranty. That what I've got in my '98 Amer. Std. In my '08 Amer. Dlx. I've got the stock SCNs which I also love. Its worth a check of his website to see what he offers and to listen to the sound clips.

Here's another site that has been posted several times that you might want to check out for sound clips aswell.

Hey Russ and thank you for the info.

I'll check out the Copperhead for sure. I really dig BKP (Bare Knuckle Pickups UK) but I'm always willing to try out new stuff. Maybe the custom wound pups would be the best. I want slightly more low end from the bridge pickup without sacrificing the Strat's clang and brightness.

Fralins and Kinmans didn't quite do the trick... eventhou both were great products.

Thanks for the links. The sound clips are a must.
