you have the 60's classic player strat? those come stock with the CS '69 pups. if you want more of a bluesy tone, go for CD Tex Specials. I have a set if you wanna buy 'em from me.

For the Hendrix sound, reverse wound&reverse staggered PU's.
They came with the Voodoo Strat some years ago.

Im sorry, i made a mistake. I wrote classic players, but it wasnt that. It was just the 60`s strat as the link below. Not the classic player 60`s Strat. Sorry...

I own Texas Specials and I love them.

You can also have pick ups custom made if you have the money.

I know of a pick up guy named Lindy Fralin from Richmond, VA who will build pretty much anything you want.

Good luck!

Big Dipper pickups! Awesome blues sound, very SRV'ish sound, probably the most unique sounding fender pickups i've ever heard.
