Hey,

Looking to do an upgrade on my 94 MIM.

Debating on the pickups.

Would really like the classic Strat sound. No
heavy blues.

Narrowed it down to these two sets.

FENDER Stratocaster CUSTOM 69 PICKUP SET

FENDER '57/'62 STRAT GUITAR PICKUP SET

What are your thoughts ??

Thanks in advance,
BC

The Custom 69s would give you a late 60s sound whereas the 57/62s would give you an early 60s sound. The 69s have very little midrange whereas the 57/62s have significantly more. As a set, which are more versatile? IMO, the 57/62s, hands down. YMMV.

Im not a fan of pick up sets. You look like your searching for a pickup with a vintage sound so you should check the Dimarzio Area pickups or the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage, check them out, its just my opinion. I have a MIM strat standard 2009 with 2 Area 67 and a Virtual Vintage 54 Pro and they ROCKKK..

I have to agree with Martian!!

+1 on the Dimarzios, but also you may want to build your own set.
The 69 (or roughly equivelent Dimarzio Area 67) in the neck position is just fantastic. Super fat but still stratty and articulate. Then you could go with something that has more midrange in the middle and something with more bass in the bridge.
