Its free, if you don’t like it you can put it back to stock and change the pick up!...
I do not know which Alegree, BKP, Creamery, Mojo, OCP et cetera models are the nearest equivalents.
If you do go for a high resistance pickup, consider getting its coil-tapped version. That way, you can have the extra power in selector switch position #1 and tap for a good level match with the middle pickup in switch position #2.
I can definitely recommend the Honky Tonk Angel for this application.
Just as a matter of interest, what amp are you using and which Strat is it?
There are plenty of recorded Strat bridge pickup tones that are rich and full even through a clean amp so I'm wondering why this one sounds tinny and weak?
They are custom shop 54 pickups and I love the neck pickup sound.
I have a collection of boosts/drives/EQ and they can’t get it there without colouring the tone and becoming noisy as shit.
I’ve been using it through a cranked Marshall and Matamp, it’s not the amps that’s for sure!
Bridge pickup is indeed wired to the tone, it tames the harshness but is still gutless.
Is it possible to put a tele bridge pickup in a strat? I don’t mind a bit of hacking.
You could always use something like an Xotic EP. Ordinarily, I don't keep this on all the time with my humbucker/SSH/HSH guitars but I do with my Robert Cray Strat due to similar issues.
I've done the above with the RC and it's made a difference.
Fralin Blues are a good, hotter pickup but still retain their spank or add a stacked humbucker. I think the physicality of these means you still retain something of a Strat character but you now have that oomph.
