Like you I am new to this as well. Not new to playing guitar however. The way a guitar sounds is very subjective. I own a Deluxe US fat strat with SCN pickups and I absolutely love the sound and versatility. When you get into high end instruments you cannot ask which sounds better. You only look like an amature when you do. Try the different pickups and buy the ones which sound good to you. Who knows, you might end up with humbuckers!

Would like to get feedback from those who know both or want to share their opinion on either pup - good, bad or whatever.
Thanks,
Nice to be here.
