Re: screamin strat
Do you have any other information? Amp, pedals, etc? If he's using a crappy amp, a new pickup won't help him. Also, something more than "It should scream" and decent price would be helpful. What is his price range, exactly?
JB Jr is an excellent pickup. 75 isn't that expensive, either.Custom neck-thru strat

Re: screamin strat
+1 to agileguy.
What styles and sounds is he after?
What is his amp and pedals rig?"Technique is really the elimination of the unneccessary ... it is a constant effort to avoid any personal impediment or obstacle to acheive the smooth flow of energy and intent"

Re: screamin strat
A PU that screams all the time, or just when you give it 'a decent price?' I know there's women like that..."Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
"And Blueman, I am pretty sure you've pissed off a lot of people."

Re: screamin strat
Its a high gain solid state randall and he wants some loud high end that yells under distortion yet tame while cleanComment

Re: screamin strat
Again, what's the budget? I'd say the JB Jr is a great pick, but if that's too expensive for him his options are preeeeeetty limited.Custom neck-thru strat
