I just installed Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups in my Stratocaster. I replaced the tone and volume pots and put in the capacitor in just as the blueprints said. My middle and neck pickups sound nice, bright, and loud whereas my bridge pickup sounds very faint and has very little sustain compared to the others, it’s as if I had the volume turned down on my guitar’s settings, that’s the best that I can describe it. I even tried turning the volume down in order to see if it might turn up but it stayed a basically the same volume. Please help!

I am planning on buying a vintage Fender Twin Reverb from a local music store. As you may already know, however, this is a very clean amp. I was looking for some suggestions as to what type of pedal i should get to get a nice overdrive tone while still maintaining some of the wonderful characters of the amp.

P.S. I play a stratocaster

I’m getting a Fender electric guitar for the holidays but I can’t decide what model to pick. Should I get a Fender Vintage Hot Rod ’57 Stratocaster or an Eric Clapton Stratocaster? I love to play tones that range from vintage to metal.

I’m thinking about getting a guitar soon, and I was thinking about getting a stratocaster. I thought it would be easy, but it isn’t. There’s all different ones from 50s, 60s, 70s etc. Whats the difference between those vintage ones and guitars made recently?
