A question.

How good are the 50's Fat Pickups on the new American Std Strats?

And what pickups were on the older American Std Strats before the new 50's, were they better or inferior?

Thanks.

The Fat 50s are one of the best Strat pups out there, IMO. If they're not quite there tonaly for you, try adjusting on your pickup heights.

The fat 50's are phenominal IMO, excellent tone and you can get a boat load of usable tones from very minor tweaks (actually turning nobs on the guitar, adjusting pickup height, etc.).

IMO they're much better sounding and quality than the previous MIA pickups.

Thanks all for the replies.

If I save now, maybe in 2 years time - or greater. ;-)
