Fender Esquire pickup upgrade?

The Fender Noiseless coil pickups sound great and are very quiet. I tried a set of Seymour Duncans and then a set of Dimarzio's and didn't like either. The Duncans had nice strong output, but were too bright. The Dimarzio's had a mid range sound and flat response. Of course both company's make multiple types of single coils.

Oh god whatever you do, DON'T put tonerider's in there.

Get some Fender Texas Special pickups. It'll finally have that real strat tone and that baby will scream/cry/whatever you want it to do. All single-coils hum in the 1,3, and 5 positions. Nothing a simple hum eliminator won't help with.

If you're going to put humbuckers in a Strat, well, that's just an abomination. You buy a strat for that killer, unique tone that you can't get from any other guitar, so if you put humbuckers in there it's just going to sound like a cheap Washburn.

If it's the humbucker tone you're after, you're better off just buying a new guitar.

Seymour Duncan have excellent pickups for telecaster and stratocaster. For the neck pick up you can fit an over and under humbucker that is switchable giving you a similar but fuller stronger sound than you have now, with the ability to switch to humbucking to give the guitar a better sound for Rock music. This pick up will come with a coil tap switch which can easily be fitted near the volume and tone controls on the guitar. This should solve your problem and make your guitar sound fuller and more powerful.

I put some tonerider pickups in my mexican fender, i say go for it, you wont look back. Also, i got a guitar shop to do all the electronics so I knew they would be fitted properly. Seymore Duncan pickups are also good.

Hey All, I Have a Fender Bullet, it's not a squire, it's a made in USA. My question is does the same apply?
