hey guys, i recently bought a new guitar, its a strat copy but a decent one 'Bridgecraft'

check out reviews of it here its pretty good for the price

im getting new better strings for it. it already has a nice strat sound but i want to get it sounding better i was told changing the pickups was the way to go? i have an expert guitar player as an uncle and he can modify the guitar however i want. what pickups and guitar setups can you guys recommend? i want to get it as close to sounding like Mike's strat does in early pearl jam stuff like Temple of the Dog, Ten etc

    As for gear. the rotovibe, wah, and TS-9 are needed.

    Wow, sorry, I thought you said gear setup instead of guitar set up. Terribly sorry...kinda sucks that my 500th post is a mistake post. Oh well, good luck!

  • Fender 57/62's have worked wonders for me, fairly priced 3 pickup set too...
