So, I currently have a 2004 MIM Strat, sunburst, maple fret, all very good condition. Has had Kinman Trad ii noiseless pickups fitted with the K9 harness which gives extra sound choices. I do like it, feels nice, has great balance, smooth and fast easy to use neck. Great sounds possible from the pickups. BUT..... up for sale is a USA Deluxe from 2009. Looks identical but has the standard N1 noiseless pickups with the S-1 switching. I cant try it so side by side, would I notice the difference? Worth the extra £400/$500?
