Hi all
I'd love a new guitar but I really can't afford one, so I was wondering about replacing the pickups in it. Will replacing the pickups improve the sound or is it a case of "flogging a dead horse?"
The Squier sounds fairly decent through my Black Box (especially with a fair bit of gain) but I'd like to get more clean and clear tones from it. I don't really know that much about pickups, does anyone have any recommendations? Probably looking to replace all 3 of my pickups for under £200. Or am I better off trying to find a "proper" Fender Strat?
Thanks
