I've had my Strat up for sale for a while now without getting any interesting offers, so I'm thinking about keeping it and just doing something very different with it instead. I use this as my standard tuned guitar, and my other for 1.5 steps down. Here's an example of what I use it for:
Most of my tone comes from my '68 Bassman and my Big Muff clone. I've also got my sights set on a really nice JMP in a box type pedal that I plan on using a lot.
So I was thinking, "Why don't I just get this guitar routed and convert it to HH?" I did that for my other strat and I love it. Of course, the next logical question is, what kind of pickups?
I was thinking about a 59/C for the bridge - a mix of vintage tone with (a little more than) a touch of extra power. Is there a different pickup that might work better in this guitar for my needs?
I'm really not sure what to look at for the neck. I've got a PG in the neck of my neck-thru strat that I really really like, but I've heard those pickups are bright in your average strat. Maybe a 59 and a slew of magnets to experiment with?
I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for in a humbucker in this guitar, as I've no idea how it sounds with them. So maybe you could just give me a few suggestions and how you think they'd sound in my rig? Thanks so much.
Also, I plan on getting a parchment pickguard, giving the pickups covers, and going vol/vol/tone with a LP style toggle switch. I think it'll look great on this guitar. Or maybe a mint guard...? ****, I'm indecisive
