Best strat pickups for bell like tone

mloc

What kind of recommendations would you give for a set of pickups for a strat to give a really nice bell like, 100% strat sound?

Kinmans and Lindy Fralins always seem to get great reviews, I have'nt heard either in the flesh though. And I'm not really a strat guy either so I'll shut up now and let someone who knows what they're talking about give some advice!

I got the kinmans and i must say im happy!

They are quite expensive though but its worth the money considering its the sound youll be hearing every day!

Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups I have a set of those in my fender and they are great. Again they're expensive, but then again they are (well at least they were when i got them) hand wound by the man himself.

I second the kinmans.

The kinman traditional set is absolutely orgasmic, here's a linky....

The fender noiseless ones are good

A mate of mine got a set of Kinmans for his old strat and in his own words "It's like Stevie Ray and Rory Gallagher are living in my guitar now"

I have Kinmans, the Woodstock Plus set, for two years now and they're really great, sound amazing with a valve amp.
