Just got a new Fender Elite Stratocaster in Autumn Blaze Metallic and want to say I am super impressed thus far with the sound of the 4th Gen Noiseless Pickups. Fender really hit on something good with the new pickups. I own a 2011 Fender American Deluxe Strat V Neck with N3 Pickups and while I love that axe, it sounds too tinny in the 5th position. 5th Position on the Elite Strat is like night and day. It has more 'Umph" is the best way I can describe it.
If anyone is on the fence about the Fender Elite Strats, try one, and you'll end up being converted.

If the pickup is the main difference that wows you, why not try the improved pickup in a different model - one that doesn't have incompatible necks and other features that may not stand the test of time?

Well, I'm not convinced by the idiosyncrasies myself, but as long as you're happy with it, great!

Let's have a look at it then!

Cheers - Peter.
