Oasis on a strat?

[WorldWithoutE]

Hi all, I am currently using a Fender Strat SSS with a Roland Micro Cube, no pedals. I am a fan of Oasis and hoping to get closer to the Noel Gallagher kind of sound, if not possible, at least a sound close to British Rock and Blues.

I was thinking maybe changing the Bridge to a Humbucker as the current Single Coil can't really handle full chords with distortion well while playing rhythm. Is this a wise change? I do know that changing the amp or the guitar altogether would bring me closer, but I really like my current Strat as its shape and weight is very 'friendly', while being versatile for a beginner to learn many types of songs. And the Roland Micro Cube is really a nice practice amp, I love the 'Vox' model, for its mellow, wet single-note sound on the neck, and laid-back, warm, not too chunky rhythm tone for the Bridge.

I have shortlisted a few Humbuckers, mainly lower output, mostly treble and balanced oriented ones.

1. DiMarzio PAF Pro
2. DiMarzio FRED
3. Tesla VR-3

Sometimes I wish I had bought a Semi-Hollow like the Dot :???:, but I really like my current Strat too .

Do you guys have any other suggestions?

You won't be able to fit a full-size humbucker into your Strat unless you get the cavity expanded... But you could always try the Seymour Duncan Hotrails. It's a singlecoil-sized humbucker.

It is routed for Humbucker and i have the HSS Pickguard, so it should be okay.
