Want to draw attention to a one-man outfit in the Garden State; Cristofer Slotoroff is Pork Roll Pickups of Weehawken, NJ. Although specializing in hand-wound, custom-crafted pickups for off-sets (i.e.: Jazzmasters, etc.), His website indicates he is experimenting with sets for Strats and more.
I stumbled upon Pork Roll Pickups on Reverb.com, and the price was right, so I thought I would give them a whirl in my latest JM build (that I wasn't planning on doing, but W's screamin' deals ad on fb got the better of me... -bastards!)... and these things are awesome!
Compared to another JM that I have with Fender AVRI pickups installed, the Pork Roll Waverly set seems to have more depth and clarity. I have had 'masters with SD Vintage and Antiquity II's, and I would say these easily rival those. -Deeper and richer tone, without being dark, is the best way I can put it.
Cris was very responsive, answered all my questions, and surpassed any and all expectations for customer service/technical support! So, yeah, add PORK ROLL PICKUPS to the list. (-And check 'em out on Reverb and fb while you're at it!)
