trying to decide on a moderate to hot alnico, warm sounding bucker for the fat strat.

what do u guys prefer for that type of tone? it has an alder body, and the fender pickup is too glassy and harsh.

im thinkig about an EMG vintage 58 and some SAs

NO EMG is "warm", per se. Regardless of the model, they are crisp and bright.

Based on your requirements, you'd do best looking into pickups with Alnico II magnets such as (but not limited to) Seymour Duncan's Custom Custom and Alnico II Pro.

myles kennedy usesa custom custom, and i love his tone.

ive used all emgs except the classic 58. i assumed it was warmer since its alnico with a heavy round tone as opposed to the rest.

Good choice.

I have one in my Toronado GT. Think you're going to like it.

Please post a follow-up once you've got it installed. I'd like to know how it compares.
