So, I am getting closer to pulling the trigger on my first build, a stratocaster style build. I am now working on deciding what pre-loaded pickguard to get. I am looking for something that will prioritize in terms of sound the following: (1) Blues, Americana, Rock; not interested in grunge or metal at all. As to brands I am looking at the following: Lace, Dimarzio, Fralin, Klein, Mojotone, or Seymour Duncan. I have narrowed it down to those as they are the ones I am most familiar with through my research. For this first time through I am looking for minimal soldering. I am leaning most towards maybe Klein (1969 Epic Series Stratocaster Pickups), or Fralin (some combination of Blue Special, Real 54's, and one of the following: Steel Pole 42 Strat, or Split Blade Strat). Klein would be stock, so returnable if I don't like the sound, Fralin would be Custom, so non-returnable).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand/item would work best for my desired sound? Thanks!
