Hi, new member looking for input on the current pickups available in the Fender Mod Shop, I’m doing a build with a relatively modern look and features. I don’t gig much anymore and mostly play either directly into Logic or GarageBand, or through a Helix LT pedal (sometimes only the pedal with headphones). Because of this, I’m less interested in the ‘native’ sound of the pickup, and more how it will work with effects and modeling.
I’m leaning toward the “Generation 4 Noiseless” (or Noiseless HSS), because noise can sometimes distract or cause me to reposition, and again I’ll be modifying the sound (has anyone used these?) I’m also considering something ’different’ from my vintage Strats, like Texas Specials, but am open to most of the available options, considering my use case. I haven’t heard most of these pups.
This page shows the Strat Mod Shop options, you can click pickups to see what’s available (some don’t let me choose the part colors I want, but most are good). Thanks for your thoughts.
