57/62 vs SCN. Clean sound

Sorry for the fading sound - that's the camera problem. In this video I'm comparing my two Stratocasters. The first one is Standard Strat (Mexican made) with American Vintage 57/62 pickups and the second is Russian Custom Shop Strat with SCN's (the third try is the same guitar but with S-1 engaged). The amplifier is Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

Hi dude, I just bought a MIM and I wanna buy the 57/62 pickups. When you changed the default pickups for the 57/62 ones, did you notice a big or a small upgrade/change? Do you recomend them? Greetings

[AlexRUS94]

@putalawea2 Well, depends on the sound you want to produce. Don't go with 57/62 if you want some heavy overdriven modern tones. But if you want to play blues, classic rock or something like that, these pickups will really help you.

[beeeastmaster]

you dig the 57/62's?

[AlexRUS94]

@beeeastmaster Well, yes. They give you nice clean ad low gain sounds.

I like marks style. I maid my Strat in to a super Strat. The last thing I did was put EMG pups and a pick guard. I hate Maple necks, I dumped that and put a Super Fast Ebony neck one it.

It is the hottest strat I ever played. I have it tuned to DADGAD for some Zep.

57/62's sound beautiful. SCN's are horrible. Just my opinion.

[steaminsteveh]

Which sounds better the 57/62 or Texas Specials bc I have heard the texas special give a good reation

@whapaso the samarium cobalt noiseless pickups were designed by Bill Lawrence as well

Russian Custom Shop Strat? Based on what I see in the video, it looks like an American Deluxe? Anyway, most noiseless pickups I've heard are nice & quiet, but you also lose a lot of character. 57/62s were designed by pickup genius Bill Lawrence and are what a Strat should like!
