Hello,

I own a Mex Fender Buddy Guy Polka Dot Strat, and i want to mod the pickups. I play Capton, Foo Fighters, Maiden, alot of different hard rock. The pickups on the sig strat are mexican crap. Was wondering what the forum has for opinions? I heard the vintage noiseless, and the Dimarzio tone zones are nice. Mostly in the bridge and middle position, single coil. Thanks for any replies.

In your strat...

Buddy Guy Standard Stratocaster® with Polka Dots[/url]

u have 3 Standard Single-Coil Strat® Pickups (Ceramic Magnets)...
If u ask me which I guess u did lol...
You need a humbuckers! Here's what I advise...

For the Bridge:

Image[/url]
"High output single-coil-size "rails" humbucker. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal."

For the Neck:
[url=http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/cutting-edge/little_59_for_s/]Little '59™ for Strat SL59-1
Image[/url]
"P.A.F.-voiced single-coil-sized humbucker. Great for country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock."

And in the Middle:

OR..a single coil in the Middle:

And to top it all off if u can add a pull pod switch to the tone knob so when you pull it up it acts as a coil tap making all or some humbuckers into single coils. That way u may access more authentic strat tones single coil style! lol
That setup should rip, shred, crunch, rock, scream & screech! heh And it is very versatile. Good Luck!
