changing pickups

will there be any improvement in the sound if I were to change the pickups of my J & D strat copy? if yes is it worth the money? or is it better to get a higher end guitar?

 

Changing pickups can make or break your tone...... But before changing pickups.. ans this Q yourself is it worth changing it on your guitar ? I mean is your guitar worth the change ? If your guitar is realy good... i.e. Good wood and plays realy well ( a nice neck that you like and the body feels good) then the chnage may be worth it.
I have changed the pickups on my CHEAPO flying V copy and it has DRAMTICALY changed the whole Pluged tone of the guitar . But I can tell you my new pickups ( at least the Bridge DUNCAN ) is crying for a new guitar/ or better guitar to be placed in. The GUITAR IS NOT DOING JUSTICE TO THE PICK UP!!!!

 

then guess it is not worth it cause there is too much buzzing especially while bending strings on certain frets

 

buzzing is common problem in any guitar.... and can be fixed, depending on how bad is the buzzing.

 

bending the string on the 11th fret results in heavy buzzing. the note dies out almost immediately.

 

Rather than changing the pickup, why don't you get a setup done by a guitar tech? That should resolve your buzzing issue.

 

yeah will attend to the buzz first. this thread can be closed
