No, no, no, get some Lindy Fralins, the Holy Grail of Tele and Strat replacement pickups. Read this

jcoote

Doctor J

I haven't used them but the the obsessives on the Fender forum foam at the gash about them... so I'm thinking that's a good thing

great work doc thanx m8...which one's would u reckon from the list

Doctor J

Whichever ones suit what you're planning to play. Distorted? Check the Harmony Central reviews to get a better idea of what each one does, but I'm guessing you'll go for one of the hotter output ones?

jcoote

yeah distorted but not much further than maybe a tube screamer kinda rat sound...i use the ibanez for the powerful stuff... i think i might look at the high output ones they look good

Yeah I've heard loads about Fralins alright. Custom wound pickups!

jcoote

custom wound yeah seen that on a review thats pretty impressive

You might also want to consider Kinmans , very highly regarded noiseless single coils.
