    pickups suggestions

    I have a SD antiquity in the neck and bridge with a Tex-Mex? in the middle.I bought the guitar like that. I would like to put a noiseless type or even a single sized med output HB in the bridge,moving the SD in the bridge to the neck and the neck to the middle.
    Any good suggestions for a bridge pickup to fit in with the Antiquity`s?

    You might try a DiMarzio Virtual Vintage "Solo Pro" in the bridge. It'll use 250k pots and be a bit hotter than a stock pickup.

    Nice looking guitar BTW!

    Thanks I have heard of the V V. I will look into that "Solo Pro" one.
    And thanks for the guitar comment those two spots are just carpet lint not dings I should take a better pic.

    Thought I would do an update on this.I put a beefy GFS steel trem block in and SS saddles.I ordered a set of Dimarzio Area`s 58-67-61 also.
    I just got a Mustang amp and am really enjoying playing this guitar with my SCXD and Mustang amps.

    I hope you are happy with it. I just tried the N3 pickups that fender now sells and did think they were a tremendous improvement of the dimarzios that I had previously owned. I have heard that dimarzios have improved too.
