  • plz help with pickup ideas on new guitar

    hi all, this is my first post.
    i was drawn to seymour duncans because they seem to be good quality and have many diff pups.
    currently i only have the guitar i started on, squire affinity strat. not too great of a guitar, but i have set up the truss rod, action, and intonation, as well as the pickup heights. i understand guitars pretty well (except for the electronics) and i love nothing more. i have two dream guitars, but both are realistic, and eventually i will get them (please dear God). the schecter c-1 classic is beautiful and great sounding, i fell in love with it when i first played it. i wouldnt alter it at all. the secong guitar would definately be a strat, i love the tone and the feel. im looking at both mexican and american strats with a floyd rose trem on ebay. i like the floyd rose, i set up my friends ibanez equipped with one and was pleased with it. i figure with a strat w/ a floyd rose i can get great dire straits sounds and eruption-like sounds. however on the strat, id want to change the pups. it comes in a h/s/s configuration, and i want to stay with single coils. out of seymour's pups i like the vintage staggered the best. i think a nice sounding pup can be altered later by effects and what not. ive also thougth about nto having a neck pickup, i rarely use it, and instead having the bridge and middle boht have their own tone knob, and put in a 3 way selector instead of 5. but that might look ugly. anyway i want to have all single coils, exactly which ones and how many im not sure, plz give me some advice.

    welcome to the forum!!

    if you want your guitar to sound nice and stratty a set of the ssl1's would be great. on a good strat the neck pup is usually my favorite sound. what music do you like to play?

      i like to play classic rock, metal, hard rock, funky stuff, mainly rock in general. id like a great clean classic strat sound, i can spice it up with boss stuff.
