Re: The What You've just Bought thread!
Nice combo, and I'll look into those kits. I don't really do metal, though I sometimes get into a heavier rock sound. I guess I range from alternative to progressive rock? Can't really nail down a style most days.
I had been eying some Seymours, hadn't really looked at EMGs, I'll give them a look.
What I'm really excited about is the paint job we're planning on it. Gonna be some crazy space nebula stuff. Gotta find a pick guard that compliments it though, they have some nice pearloid looking ones, still kinda looking around.
EDIT: After doing some more looking, I found some pretty nice (albeit expensive) pickups:

Haven't done a whole lot of snooping around, but what I have read about them has been all good so far. Thoughts?
Well if you want to go this route, EMG and Seymour make full kits that are a rip out and direct replacement for Strats. Personally if you play more of rock or metal I would drop some Hot Rails in there. More than likely I will be turning mine into a hummer in the bridge and a Stevie Ray in the neck.
