Re: Impending NGD
It looks like somebody fiddled with them a bit. The middle is very close to the strings and both the bridge and the neck seem a tad low. After I put some bigger strings on it I'm going to try and find the sweet spot for each of them. People say that this is one of the best Fender Strat pickup sets made, but in all honesty I had my partscaster that has D. Allen Flat 50's in it (A3 magnets-no stagger. Middle pickup NOT RW/RP) and I was playing one, and then plugging the other and playing the same thing; and the partscaster sounded better in every position. Both guitars have the EJ tone mod, so that's not a factor. However, I'm not rushing to any conclusions until I get this set up, and strung the way I like it. The pickups had some bite, but were in the vintage range, they just didn't have the chime and clarity the D. Allens had. Like I said, I won't judge based on the way it came out of the box, plus those tiny strings probably aren't optimal for tone purposes. Just a hunch.
