swangdb, I simply released the Alnico Micros for Strat like the ones in Bill's 2012 demo. I very well may offer two bridge Strat options like I am going to do with the Tele sets. You'll be one of the first to know!

Thanks Becky, if you decide to offer two bridge strat options for the Alnico Microcoils, let me know!

The more I play these Alnico Microcoils, the less the bridge pickup volume bothers me.  When I just use the bridge pickup for a while, it's easy to dial in some great tones.  I recently bought a Wampler Hotwired V2 pedal and the overdrive channel of this pedal loves this pickup (into the clean channel of a Quilter Aviator 1x12 combo amp).  I'm almost afraid to change anything now.  I even bought a base plate and have been too lazy to install it.  Maybe over the holidays.

I still think I'd like a louder version of this pickup, but who knows, maybe 10% more winds (or whatever) would change the tone too much for me.  I guess I'll try the base plate someday, and if that doesn't do enough, maybe I'll try the original (non-alnico) Microcoil bridge pickup.  If that happens, and if I like it with alnico Microcoils, I could always order another original bridge Microcoil so I'd have a full set.  But there is a chance I might put the Alnico bridge pickup back in after all that.
