fender mexican strat

fender mexican strat [review]

The Mexican strats are a bit cheap here and there but overall there great for the price. I so often read how these pickups suck so i replaces them and now it sounds great! dont get me wrong, I love well made consistant sounding pickups but there is noting realy wrong with mexican pickups. you can take these mexican pickups as ill talk about only now and take the two ceramic bar magnets off and slip cylinder magnets right in the holes with anlico 2/5/8. this should mellow things out you would think and make it a premium pickup especialy if you pot the pickup to reduce unwanted microphonic feedback. some people will say the stock pickups are bright/sterile and thin. I then took off one of the two bar magnets and now i have mellow sounding pickups that dont pull too much at the strings but when cranked, have a real nice bluesy sound.. Yep the vintage guys freak when i play this thing and say it sounds GREAT! My advice,, just plug your guitar in and play play play! try new pickups and configurations and play.
