hey i recently came into a fender classic 50s reissue mim and it came with fender scn noiseless pickups. now i also have a set of van zandt true vintage pickups that i have laying around. i was wondering what would give me a better overall tone and more close to a david gilmour tone. the van zandt a over double to price and they do sound pretty decent from what i remember but they have much less output, VZ -6, 5.8,5.8 kohms(NMB) and the Fender -6.5,6.5.11.6 kohms (NMB)

I’m looking to buy, and honestly I can’t tell what’s special about the Fender Stratocaster, and the Fender AMERICAN Stratocaster. Besides the American being 400 more… also:

A Gibson SG and a Gibson Vintage SG

Stratocaster and an older model of one (like a 50s reissue)

I know people think Gibson is better than Epiphone, but is the difference really big enough to spend 2,000 dollars on?
