Re: Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups

: Hi
: I´m thinking of replacing my stock mexi pups with vintage noiseless, because i´m looking for a clean blues sound, but there seems to be a lot of different oppinions of these pickups. Has anybody had any experience with them , please let me know
=======
I have a new American Deluxe Strat with the noiseless pickups. The one thing I like is that you can turn the guitar to 10, and if your amp is clean, there is NO noise unless you play. It is the cleanest sounding guitar I have ever played. I had a 25th Anniversary model, but this one sounds better.

Re: Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups

Man! After all the advertising Kinman has done to tell the UNIVERSE about his amazing pickups, ya'll STILL don't know about him and his fantastic pickups??? Look people....if it's clear, uncompressed, sweet, dynamic, AUTHENTIC Strat tones you want, y'all won't find them with the Fender Noiseless crap, or the Lace Holy Grail garbage!
Open your brain-things and check out Kinman's AVn Series of pickups. If to you, they aren't amazing, and put all other brands to SHAME, y'all should really be playing Les Pauls, because it's clear you don't know ANYTHING about Strat sound.
"Nuff said!

I have not liked Fender's Noiseless Pickups either. I find them harsh, metallic, industrial, non-Strat and without harmonics & chime.

Mr. Kinman makes good pickups and so does Tony
Amendolare at ElectroKraft custom handwounds, for less than half the price of boutique category brands. See www.harmonycentral.com for reviews and you be the judge.

Re: Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups

Ok,
I have a 1983 Fender Elite Strat with noiseless pickups. Everyone that plays my guitar tells me that it has a much better sound than their Strat. I am not sure what the newer noiseless pickups sound like but I do know mine are awesome. They also have a pre circuit that runs off a battery 9 volt. Hope this helps. Bill

Coronado II bass?

Saw one of these for sale recently and was curious about the sound quality and its value. Hollow body bass, completely bound including F holes. Sort of green mint/mist color, 2 (single coil?) pickups. Is this a good or great bass? Asking price is $650. Any opinions out there? Thanks.

Re: Coronado II bass?

I like mine and think it's worth more. However, I'm trying to sell mine too, right now. The problem is that no one knows about this great bass.

Neck Finish - Strat

Hello:

Got a slight ding in the finish on the neck and wondered what type varnish Fender uses? Anyone have any luck touching up a neck?

Thanks,
Jesse

hi

Hi, I've got a question to ask. My fender strat is about 2 years old, and I just found out from my repair man that the neck is bowed so bad that It has to be heated to be bent back straight, and the frets recarved or whatever. Ive heard from some guy that he had that done to his guitar(which didnt have a trussrod) and it just went back to being bowed within about 1 year. And he had to have it heated again. I was wondering if that's gonna happen to my guitar. I dont wanna have to pay this much money to have it heated and bent back to normal every 11 months. HOpefully you can give me some insight. I was also wondering how long Fender's warranty is on their necks and stuff. Thanks alot Todd

bass

does anyone knows which year was my bass(L0033322) made.

it´s a fender precission made in japan. sunburst, black pickguard serial nº L0033322

What is it worth? 69 Re-Issue.

I have what I believe is a 69 re-issue MIJ Stratocaster. It's Surf Green. The Serial# identifies it as made in 1986-1987. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: What is it worth? 69 Re-Issue.

A NEW 2000 re-issue strat goes for about $500 I would assume it would go for $300-400 depending on where it was made and what shape it is in but knowing that in the 80's fender guitars were made with not nearly as much quality as past years or years after they don't sell for much at all. I am not sure if the re-issues were made the same but that would seem to be about right $300-400 near mint (a few scratches here and there) .and P.S. unless u are thinking about trading it in you might try selling it in on e-bay if you ar5e selling for cash you tend to get a little more because when u sell it to a dealer they have to think how much they can get for it then charge you less then what it is worth.

Strat Elite Tremelo Bar Wanted

Need a chrome bar for an 83 Strat Elite. This is a "snap-in" type. Does anyone have one that will fit? By the way this is for sale at $850. Silver gray in Near Mint condition with original case. I'd like to trade for a Tele Elite if anyone has one to trade, or a Rickenbacher.

Re: Strat Elite Tremelo Bar Wanted

Check this site out...they will probably have just what you need if you haven't already found it. Fender called the system Freeflyte and it was made by Schaller. Anyway here's the site... http://www.fretsonthenet.com/Tremolobars.htm#Fender_Elite_

Gold Fender Elite

Where were these guitars made?? USA, MEXICO,JAPAN, KOREA?????

Re: Gold Fender Elite

: Where were these guitars made?? USA, MEXICO,JAPAN, KOREA?????

If you are referring to the Robben Ford type Elite series prior to Fender making it a signature custom shop model, it was produced in Japan for one year only, 1987. I have one and put EMG's on it and get nothing but compliments on its tone. Hope this helped. If I were to buy one today, I would have to go through the custom shop ala Robben Ford model.

Keep Jamm'in!!
