Looking for some feedback from guys who have basically lived with their Strat.
On another thread I started a few months I got my first Strat, although I have played for over 30+ years
Well I have been really enjoying my Strat since then!

The reason I am seeking advice although I have played many Strat’s through the years (other peoples) it’s not the same as living with your own and I am kind of new to the Strat (as an owner)I am getting the itch to change things to some degree. First thing is a treble bleed circuit I use them already in my Ibanez guitars and also my Music Man JP BFR. For my Gibson’s I use 50’s wiring. The Strat was a bit of a tough call although it does loose highs when you roll the volume pot down I found it a bit pleasant as opposed to my others: Music Man BFR being the worst offender of the bunch turn that down to 7 or below you had dark thick mud.
Pickups: this is the real reason I am writing! Keep in mind I don’t want to turn this into a Super Strat, already have a few of them I call them “Ibanez”. I love the pickups currently in the guitar, they are Fender custom shop (overwound a bit I guess). But in the back of my head “some nice stacked humbucker’s might be nice”.
Just pretty much want to bounce my random thoughts off you guys.
thank's
John
