Hi, I am 14. I just got a AM STD left Handed Strat and The sound that I really like is this:

And I would like to upgrade my strat with the Noiseless and the MDX without the TBX.

Should I really upgrade an American Standart or leave it as it is a good guitar?

Chasing an artist's sound can lead to tons of disappointment as technique comprises the majority of how an artist sounds. Before modifying your guitar, you might look at an overdrive pedal which will allow you to control some of the EQ and "growl". Research wisely.

As always, this is merely IMO where YMMV.

well you could just buy the reg vintage noiselles pickups thats whats in the eric clapton usa strat. he has a mid boost on his middle pickup.

but i bought one of these and it gives you that tone i would buy this first. a digitech eric clapton petal. you can find them on ebay.
