I guess since I started this I should post.

My first real Strat was a Deluxe. I had Fender Vintage Noiseless' in them. I always felt they were lack luster but had a real problem with noise that I was getting from my standard. When Fender released the SCN's I hopped right on and was definitely happier with them than I was with the VN's. I finally came to the realization that you were paying for the noiseless feature with your tone and learned to accept that that was just the nature of the single coil. I finally landed on Fender Custom Fat 50's. I'm very happy with them especially the slightly overdriven tones. I know that they aren't the end all but they definitely are a decent set.

I'm really thinking about some Fred Stuarts. I talked to Jacob Peterson and he recommended them to me. And if you've heard Jacob, his tone is on point. Just waiting for the checks to come first haha.
