New here. Strat and Tele Question on PuPs.

[Ctrl_Alt_Dlt]

I just recently purchased the Stratocaster and Telecaster building pack where you build your own guitar. The PuPs are not too great on these stock guitars. I have been looking at the Seymour Duncan website and I just dont know how to verify if the PupS are correct.

For now this is my plan:

Telecaster
Bridge: STHR-1 Hot Rails™ for Tele®, Lead (are these in the correct position?)
Neck: STL-2/STR-2 Hot for Tele® Lead/Rhythm (are these in the correct position?)


Stratocaster:
Bridge, middle and Neck : LW-HS1 Hot Live Wire™ Set (are these in the correct position?)

Now my question is: For the "LW-HS1 Hot Live Wire™ Set" are there 3 PuPs for the Bridge, Middle and Neck? Or by the term "set" they mean just 1 PuPs?

I just want to know if these are the correct positions and if they will fit in the builder pack. I decided to purchase these builders pack because I wanted to create my own guitar and do a few experiements with PuPs and wood body.

thank you in advance.

Novice here. Also...if it helps, I play new age rock and pop music. I do a lot of rythm and picking. No leading.

Re: New here. Strat and Tele Question on PuPs.

the live wire set is all three pups and they will work fine. they are active so they will require a battery.

the sthr1 is the proper bridge pup, the str-2 is the neck pup you are looking for

Thanks! How big of a battery is this? Is it a hassel to take in and out? How much is a battery?

I never knew.

Thanks...

I wouldn't go active, tone is too clinical. I put a 1/4 lb in my tele bridge and a JB humbucker at the neck. The balance of level and sounds are awesome, not traditional but great for rock/blues
