are you looking for midscooped, low out put, more midrange, noiseless,
punchy, bright, what qualities are intriguing.

I think the stock '57/'62 pickups are quite good. Seymour Duncan Antiquity's are excellent though. They make a set that are vintage '50's and a set that are vintage '60's.

I have a 57 AVRI strat, and I'm keeping my pickups.

I would suggest you give it a go with a wound G-string -- I think it sounds much nicer, as the poles on the pickups are staggered with this in mind.

These are the strings I'm using:

To my ears the pups on the '62 reissue are about the best sounding that Fender makes anyway.The only ones that I've heard that impress me almost as much as the 62s are the Tex-Mex.
