Stratocaster pickups _ sound sample

[jarsful22]

I realize this video was post a long time ago... but wondering if you could list the pickups in order. Otherwise a great video.

[jarsful22]

@jarsful22 Nevermind found the list on page 4. Thanks though.

@jarsful22

The first reply on page 5 :)

1.SCN 2.Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot 3.Texas Special 4.Standard Alnico '82 5. Standard Alnico '89 6. Joe Barden S-Deluxe 7. 57/62 (with modified bridge pu)

A little correction: the 4-th is a "vintage '62" set from 1982, and the last set is a "vintage 62" from 1998.

Cheers

Hi, great video, can you tell me which pick ups are in strat guitar 2,4 and 5, because I like these, thanks

[airmakeup]

great video!!! can you share the tab of your riff? :) thanks a lot!

im thinking to install in my strat (sss) SCN or custom shop 54

what do you think? SCN are too "modern"? cs54 are too noisy?

pros? contras?

[Khalim63]

@airmakeup

Sorry, I don't know tabs :(

As per my taste, CS54. I had both, the '54 sounded so lovely, who cares about noise, when the soubd's coming :). SCN is too modern, You are right.

CS54 is my favourite Fender set.

Early '80-s vintage reissue

@pufforosso

early '80-s vintage reissue

[ekserchina]

I kinda like #4 & #5...what are they and what pickups are in them? Thanks.

[Khalim63]

@ekserchina

#4 1982 "Dan Smith" Standard, with early '80-s vintage (57,62) reissue pickups

#5 1997 American Standard, with standard (factory) alnico pickups

[stephen102]

say if you put those pick ups in a guitar that wasnt a strat like a PRS or les paul would you still get the same strat sound?

[ekserchina]

@stephen102

I don't think so...everything matters even though many musicians claim that it doesn't. First of all it would look kinda goofy if you put single coils in a lp or a prs...unless they're P90's...you could get similar sounds or search for something like this but why not get a Strat and do it the old fashioned way. Strats are known for their 'quacky' sound that you can hear here. Good luck and hopefully this helped a bit.

[eaglezach36]

what pickups were on the second guitar

[Khalim63]

Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot

[Amarynthos]

Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot sounds awesome, which amp did you use?

[Khalim63]

Laney LC50-II ...  don't have it any more, now I use GREGORIUS handwired amp.

[Amarynthos]

Thanks for your response. Do you have a video of your new amp?

[Khalim63]

I've made the last 4-5 videos using my GREG amps.

[bobob13131]

SCN's didn't work for me. Seemed weak and "plastic" sounding. Drastically so. Really preferred stock PU's from the late 70's/early 80's I had in prior to putting in the Vintage Noiseless.  YMMV. BTW, this is a great video. Very helpful as I'm looking at a guitar with Texas Specs in it.

[ARVNpistola313]

I heard the SCN's are a bit bland. What do you think of that? Its kind of hard to hear on youtube.

[Gynormagantuan]

Actually, I think they are great. People get overly caught up in trying to be "vintage correct". If SCN was out at the same time as the original '54 singles, I bet SCN will be more often used since they are noiseless.

[ARVNpistola313]

great point. I like them too.

[ainwen86]

Bless you Khalim63. I've been trying to find something that compared pickups and this is really great.  Love the Texas Specials.

[phaeton01]

ah perfect, thanks.

i knew in my heart i was leaning towards lindy fralins

[phaeton01]

love to be able to play that tune though

[Khalim63]

0:00 American Standard 1989...0:30 Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot... 0:56 Texas Special... 1:23 1982 "Dan Smith"... 1:49 American Standard 1997... 2:18 Joe Barden S-DeLuxe... 2:47 American Vintage '62 1998...

[Alberto6143]

Good test. But, rosewood fingerboards change the sound, if compared with respectives in maple.

[phaeton01]

shame it doesnt tell you what each one is, no bother, they all sounded great doesnt help me choose though

[theboywhocantollie]

whats the best neck pickup for a bluesy classic fender strat sound?

[Johngtr13]

I think it was a toss-up. They're quite close in sound. Any would do. I have the Texas Specials in my Strat.

[brockusher]

So much strats. So much jelousy. Great guitars and even better playing.

[kirkmaster1]

Hi, I have Fender USA with dwo Suhr V54 (N+M) and have to find some good bridge pickup. Barden pickup are interest me, but I don;t play on it. Do Bardens worth price?

[Algonquin]

Nicely done sampling of the different p/u's available.

Very much appreciated.

Cheers!

[ronny888san]

Thanks man,this is a great to hear them all in a few minutes.The Joe Bardens jump out for me ,i get them myself for my telecaster.

[viniciusmanara]

good job!

[jay31486]

What is your favorite? I liked the texas specials and the fralins best. I think im bias because Im a huge SRV fan.

[Khalim63]

I like all of them :)

I decided to keep 4 Strats:

the "Dan Smith" with factory pups, the blue Am. Standard with Fralins, the '62 RI and the nice sienna sunburst dlx with Bardens.

I'm a SRV fan as well.

Keep rockin'
