I picked up this gem MIM Fender Strat from GC the other Day. It's a SE Ash body with rosewood fretboard. This thing is absolutely flawless, I feel very lucky. But I'm finding the ceramic pickups a bit to modern/bright for my liking (I bought this guitar mostly for blues, rock/blues type of playing). I realize that ash is used mostly for getting a brighter sound but I'd like to tone it down a bit and get a more vintage original strat sound out of it aka Hendrix/Gilmour/Keith Wyatt. I know Gilmour uses EMGs now but I actually preffered his sound more before he switched to them.
Any suggestions to what I should swap them out for?
