i have been lokking at pick ups the last few days trying to get an idea of what i want and how i want it to sound. there are so many options that its hard to keep up. upgrading my leps pauls were easy gibson all the way but this is a bit harder.
what i need help with is findiing that tone for me. i know its hard for you to tell me what my sound is but i think well give it a try.
im am looking for a good FULL sound. with clear output clean overdriven and distorted. i would like the quitest possibble single coils without loosing that strat tone. i really need to thickest mids and clearest lows but also bright clear as a bell highs (if that can happen cause the stocks get muddy with a big muff). right now im really starting to get more and more into classic rock and the blues but i havent fully found my sound yet so i guess ill be trying to play every style.
right after i got this fender i was talking to a guitar guy and he recommended a set of lindy fralin blues specials or a set of fender 50's plus. now im not sure if i have every heard these pickups so i cant really make a desicion. looking at the lindy fralin website doesnt help much because they are very thin on info. i know all about fender vintage noiseless (i own a set for another strat copy) and am not impressed with them. i dont want to even consider active picks at this point because i dont want to cut in on the wood yet. so any ideas you can give might be really helpful if not to ulimate pickups.
They say the END is near, but I'm Tired of waiting.
