Strat Pickup
Pickups for my strat?
I have recently repainted my squire strat, and thought that whilst it is still in pieces I should replace the pickups and scratch plate. I am not sure at all what pickups to get - just that I want the original ones out! I was just looking for any good suggestions. My guitar teacher recommended some DiMarzio pickups, but I'm not sure what to get. I would probably replace all three of my strat pickups.
Thanks
Hello there,
Your choice of pickups will depend on the type of tone you want to have. If you want a classic Strat tone, you can upgrade your pickups with those from a Fender Strat (not the Squier).
I think a good combination for rock and blues is to put MexTex or Texas Specials in the neck and middle positions and a rail (like a Seymor Duncan) in the bridge. That gives a good bluesy punch.
Good luck,
Installing Stratocaster Pickups
