Re: Two Questions
This should be in the pickup lounge, but I´ll answer anyway
1. Neither. It depends on what tone you´re looking for. The 2 pickups sound a bit different, both are great for certain styles. What are you looking for and what is it going into? (Lemme Guess, you want Tom Delonge´s tone?)
2. Both will fit in a strat that is routed for a humbucker at the bridge, otherwise you´ll need a new pickguard and possibly a bit of routing on the body.

Re: Two Questions
I would'uv answered but i have no experience with either :laugh2:
But we cant tell you which is better because tone is subjective so you'd have to decide that for yourself..
I'd also guess that you want tom delonge's tone ??
So i guess that would depend on which albums tone your after. But keep in mind that ultimatly it will be the amp that will get you closest to his tone..I believe before the new album he was using a Triple Recto and JCM 900..

gah i hate pop punk, anyways
from looking at gear enough, i know the guys from simple plan use fat telecasters & mxr doubleshot distortion (on the non-dimebag channel)
if i were you i'd just get those, or get your strat sounding like a fat tele, and get the doubleshot, then try both through a lot of amps & see what you like
a marshall avt150 would get you there, but well, don't get me or anyone else here started on those heads, haha

Re: Two Questions
Tom Delonge's tone is pretty f*kin sweet IMO , his guitar sounded really great on Enema of the state..but i think thats all production because ive heard some live shows and his tone blows, but it's probobly to do with his lack of technique :laugh2:
If you really want their tone it's probobly best to go with what they play, if you want it that bad, but I dont think Sum41 use invaders or dirty fingers, remember the amp will be the deciding factor in your tone..

Re: Two Questions
I have only used the Invader. But judging by the reviews of the Gibson Dirty Fingers they both lack clarity. Thats one of the biggest problems with the Invader that I found. Invaders are great sounding for power chords on the distortion channel but once you start individual string picking on the distortion channel the bass of the pickup just drowns out pretty much any high string you play IMO. Also a Gibson Dirty Fingers Pickup can be installed in your guitar if the bridge of your guitar is routed for a full size humbucker. :saeek:
