Okay, so I'm going to mod my '93 Strat Plus Deluxe including having a trad nut fitted replacing the now somewhat dodgy Wilkinson roller nut and put the original trem block back in minus the trem-setter thingy. Then a complete replacement pickguard with some classic strat PUs (I'm thinking 50s rather than 60s).
Any recommendations for the PUs?

@impmann Mojo, okay, I'll have a look. Oil City was on the radar and BK too (I've put PKs in my LP recently and love the way that's worked out).
@MattFGBI I've had a conversation with my tame luthier regarding the feasabilty of such a manouveur and he seems confident of a good looking and solid result. Don't quite know how he'd do it though to be fair.

Edit: I've also had a set of Triple Blues - slightly lower output and a twangier bridge. Very nice, smooth and sparkly but I preferred a gruntier, fatter bridge pickup. If you're after more of a 50's set then maybe the triple blues, or they also do 50's voiced ones but I've never tried them. Although I do have a squier knocking about...
Thanks for those, I'll have a look at them.
I think I'm likely to head for something at the lower end output wise rather than the "vintage hot" type of options, as per my OP of 50s rather than 60s.
Anyone any more suggestions?
I've got some pick-ups from a Japanese Strat in the parts classifieds if you don't want to go to the expense of a brand new set.
Here.
What do I win for the correct answer?
Mojo are highly regarded around here too, and are definitely able to wind great vintage style pickups.
While I've not tried his Strat pus, the p90s I have are easily on par with the bk pus I have.
