I have a mexican strat made in 2002-2003 and I notice the pickups are weak sounding. I did some work on it to improve it. I made a bone nut for it and adjusted everything. It feels great and plays great now but the pickups are weak. Have any of you found that your stock pickups sound weak? It could be possible there is a problem with them or that is part of the spec for this modle. The guitar has the specs of the seventies model. I think around 1974.

Thanks

Bob

Probably nothing wrong with the pickups. Try adjusting the pickup height, or raising the volume on the amp, or getting a volume pedal.

Your probably right. I adjusted the pickups different heights to see if there would be any change but there wasn't much. I guess that's just how these pups are.
