Fender CS 69

Hi all,
This is a partial repost, so please excuse it if you have run across it before. (I tacked it onto another non-Jerry tone post and thought it was worth another shot in the right area of the board.)
This is my first outing with a Fender Custom Shop 69 as the middle pup. I know a lot of people have been mulling over the quality of single coils for this position and I went with the advice of the esteemed Waldo when he posted somewhere back in the eons of this board that the 69 had good specs to get at that tone we all know and love. Overall, I like the CS 69 as an improvement over the stock pickup in my MIM Strat. It has a more defined Fender sound that is consistent across the strings. (The stock pup seemed to be weak on the high E.) I'm going into a Blues Jr. on this recording and you can probably hear a bit of the burr as this amp touches the top of its headroom at times.
Here is a Sound cloud link to Terrapin>UJB that let me put the pickup through its paces from clean to using distortion and the octave.
