Changing the pickups on your electric guitar is always a gamble: unlike a pedal, you have to disassemble, solder, and if you're disappointed, resell them at a significant loss. I have to say that I've experimented a lot with the pickups on my Strat. They come in all price ranges, and the description often lacks precision: it's more of a dream, marketing than objective and precise criteria. In short, after buying and assembling two different Vintage kits mass-produced by Fender, I still wasn't satisfied and I was starting to give up... And then...

I found the Euterpe Micros on the Internet and I liked being able to choose precisely, but without being lost in a range that was too complex. I was able to discuss all the options with Nathan who advised me without any waffle. I finally chose modern pickups with studs (not stepped) and with a moderate output level ( Set Bright ), and the result is there: My Mexican Squier sounds the way I want: present highs without ever being aggressive, dynamics, in short the sound that corresponds well to the idea I have of a Stratocaster: moderate power certainly, but positions 2 and 4 that sparkle and the possibility of going for false harmonics if necessary. Bet won!
