Members lukegalea16 Posted June 27, 2018 Members Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hey guys, I'm looking to mod my Squier and put in a set of single coils. I really like the sound of the SD Antiquity Texas Hot Strat but they're a tad expensive for my budge (~$280). Can you recommend similar pickups perhaps? I also contacted Mojo Pickups and the guy told me that he can wind pickups according to my specs (perhaps you could give me some feedback about Mojo Pickups?). I have also looked into Iron Gear as a cheaper option and for the sake of modding a guitar. Let me know what you think. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verne Andru Posted July 1, 2018 Members Share Posted July 1, 2018 I have a set of Mojotone 50s Custom Wound in my Strat and couldn't be happier. Since I use an unwound G I went for flat pole pieces which gives me great string-to-string balance, an option not offered by all makers. They have that authentic bell-like Strat tone in all positions. A cork-sniffer buddy reluctantly acknowledged they sound better than his American Standard pups. Since I prefer a hot bridge I swapped in a Seymour Duncan Lil '59er, which closely emulates a 1959 Les Paul humbucker. When split to single coil it's a tad hotter than the Mojotone but blends well with the others. Wiring makes a big difference. I've got mine wired with a bunch of push-pulls and a 5-way super-switch that gives me all sorts of tonal options. I highly recommend Mojotone. Great people who know what they're doing.
