I wonder if you can help. I have a strat copy guitar which I've had for about 23 years. It was a "Legend" branded guitar which was cheap and cheerful. It has sentimental value and us my no. 1.
I love it but would love to upgrade the pickups to something more traditionally strat sounding. I play very clean with bit of drive. Think Chris Buck, Danish Pete, Mick from TPS etc.
A few questions:
1. What pickup sets would you recommend on the mid priced budget?
2. Is there anything I need to consider in terms of them fitting my guitar?
3. Is it a fairly easy enough DIY job to fit them?
