: im a begginer guitarist, i have a fender squire stratocaster and im in some need of new pickups, i like to play hendrix style solos and blues and rock
: could any1 give me an idea on what to buy

Hayden, take a look at Seymour Duncan. They make a "Hot Stack" pickup that will give you some extra power. They also make a double coil humbucker that will fit in those skinny Strat pickup holes and gives a warmer fatter sound. If price is a factor look at Dimarzio, they are a bit cheaper.

If you're not completely sure what kind of sound you want, check out a few music stores and ask what pickups these other instruments have, find what you like and ask about the pickups.

When you buy these, pay close attention to what you are getting. Pickups will be for Bridge, Middle or Neck positions. When you install them, the middle should be magnetically reversed from the outside two (North-South-North). Buy new, not used, and a complete set of instructions will be included in the package.

Cheers & Good Luck
