My first post here - so Hi to all first of all . I have a short question regarding the pickup replacement .
A few years back i bought the Strat - Eric Clapton model ( s/n 8954400) .Recently i replaced the original Lace Sensor pickups with the Hot Noiseless model pickups.
My question is in regard to impedance - do i need to replace the volume and/or tone controls as well( in that case, what would be the most suitable replacement) or can i retain the original ones .
Thanx in advance .

That EC strat is pretty darn good to begin with, I personally don't see any reason to change pots.

You'd do better frequency response wise, to replace the 250K pots with at least, 500K ones. Also, if my memory serves me correctly, the Hot Noiseless came with 1,000K (1 meg) pots stock. You can experiment or, if you like the way the guitar sounds, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
