Re: Pickups for Upgrading Encore Strat

Thanks Chaps
I think I will go for the Ironstone Golds.
Some time ago (1998) I shielded the body cavity fully and the pickguard. I noted at the time it then seemed to give a fuller sound (possibly as the extraneous noise cleared). But now I have the Deluxe and Roadhouse strats and also I am more astutely attuned as it were I feel better pickups will give me a reasonable single coil pickup guitar that is not too expensive.
Will follow up when installed. Possibly post a recording.
I do have a recording I did recently - Apache - so will do it again with the new PU's and post both.
I will consider the 10 way switch later.
