American Strat
American Strat
If I buy install noiseless pickups on a mexican strat will it sound as good as an american strat?
I am interested in buying kinman noiseless pickups for my strat (I have a mexican). I know these pickups are amazing, but will they make the guitar THAT much better, or will I be limited by the lower quality body and neck. Although they are both maple, I feel that the neck of an american strat is better quality. I dont really feel like dropping the loot on another guitar, but I want a great tone. Will my mexican cut it?

Also, anybody heard anything about these kinman pickups? I have heard only great things.
Soundwise there may be a slight difference with the body. But the pickups will make a big difference. My son bought a cheapo Kramer Strat copy. I replaced the pickups with Fender Lace Sensors and a TBX circuit. Sounds pretty close to a real Fender now.
