hi, is it possible to buy the latest pickups? a mate bought a new HSS fat strat back from the states and it sounds way better than my old strat, so I want to upgrade the pickups and wiring in mine..can you buy the pickups (with the volume switch) here or online? and how much..a link would be great ..ta
Still need a bass player and my studio is still there.
I'd like to donate 87 cents but the link stated on the main page just isn't on mine (old ppl on computers..sigh
) ..all very weird

you would have to find out what pups they are, and im sure someone here could get them for you

Assuming you have a typical strat you would need to take off the pickguard and check for the appropriate space for the humbucker first of all. Then buy a set of pickups either with a new pickguard or modify your current one, probably someone here who will do it all for a fair fee.

Wiring for my (Lonestar) HSS strat... uses 5way selector as described in the link, very versatile combinations with my pickups, I use every position.
What pups are in the new fatstrats these days anyway?
