Hi, I'm brand new to the boards. I'm hoping you guy's can help me. I just bought a American Strat about a year ago which I love. I also have MIM strat that is about 6 years old and I want to upgrade the pickups. I have looked extensively online for left handed strat pickups but so far no luck. I know Fender makes noisless pickups for lefthanders but I can't find any stores that sell them and Fender as far as I know does not sell their products online. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance....

Welcome to the Forum.

Any Authorized Fender Dealer can order them for you. As far as other pickups, look for pickups with non-staggered pole pieces and you'll be fine.

Chet your cool. Any suggestions on pickups? Mine are standard in my 1989 Strat. No humbuckers. I love my Strat. One friend said it "felt vintage" after playing it at a party. It was set up years ago (90's) by Sunset Custom in Hollywood. It still plays great. Is it worth it to upgrade to Fender Lace Sensors or other newer pickups? :arrow: 8)

My personal recommendations would be Bill Lawrence www.billlawrence.com pups, or WCR SR's www.crcoils.com

Bill's pups are very reasonable priced, not made until they are ordered so there is a waiting period of usually 4-6 weeks. Very Vintage sounding.

Jim only makes about 30 sets of the SR's per year and they are not cheap, but they sound fabulous!!!! Very Hot near P-90ish tone.
