Hello all,
I have a left handed Fender American Strat and just got a set of Fender vintage noiseless pickups.
The pickups I got new but did not say that they were for a lefty guitar.
I know which one is the bridge,middle, and neck.
My question is does it matter which way the pickups are placed?
What I mean is when the guitar is in my guitar stand should I be able to read were it said noiseless or would it be upside down.
Im just not sure if it matters.
Hope someone can understand.
Thanks for any help

Normally if your guitar is in the stand you should be able to read Noiseless.

I always heard that unless you have righty pickups with staggered pole pieces it doesn't matter. And on that note, Hendrix got by ok using righty pickups.

If memory serves me correct most Left Handed Strats are not routed so that a pickup can be turned upside down and still fit in the guitar. I have tried it with a couple of Strats and they just don't fit that way.
