Fender's new pups are different than the 70's pups.
the 70's pups probably have a 60 cycle hum.
Fender makes a 'noiseless' pup. basically it is like a humbucker, but still a single coil. I think they stack a single coil with another with something in between. the hum is camncelled, yet mremains a single coil.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1971-standard-stratocaster-pickup-replacement/#post-175176 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1971-standard-stratocaster-pickup-replacement/#post-175166 Thu, 04 May 2006 23:57:29 +0000
Can someone explain me the difference between my 1971 Standard pickups and the new pickups found on an new USA Standards Strat? I'm confuse because I can buy 3 usa standards pickups for less than 100.00 but to get a 197... I need to pay close to 800.00? What is the difference?

Is there an artical that I can read that explain the difference of this?

Also, I have found a place in Canada that they rebuilt pickups. Should I consider this option?

I'm going back on stage after 10 years and I need to get my guitars ready for it. The neck pickup on my 71 stratocaster is no longer working and I need to replace it. Is it ok to replace only one pickup if I can found a 70th stratocaster pickup? If I should replace them all witch brand should I consider? There is so much brand out there, it's difficult to choose.
