Well I paid for my 10 years old Fender strat 300 bucks. I just wanna know, that even it is quite a nice guitar for me, may I change the original pickups, because the bridgepic. is a bit noisy, and there is too much bass in the neck one.

Well it has a warm sound, Stevie R.V. type, you know. It is very light, I mean the weight. Sound cool, but sometimes I feel, maybe with better pickups, would be more satisfying.

The sound is a bit noisy, and it is hard to get the same overdriven echo coming back from the amp, like with my Gibson, which is easy to make a long gain sustain with. Is it the light wood or the pickup?

Luckily briliant constuction, and good quality.

Can I get longer sustain with spec. pickups, or it won't change, because it is a matter of the body's wood material
