Of the numerous versions of current Fender strat pickups sold today, which version would get closest to the original mustang pickup sound?

probably the japanese 62RI pickups, because they're still japanese, and really weak (at least they were in the one i had for like a month). the MIM ones from my 2002 standard are really nice, and i'm saving them to drop in fiesta's bullet strat. tbh, the bullet strat pups are really nice, and come to think of it, sound almost like a mustang.

just my diluted opinion.
