Hello,
I own a 1962 American Vintage Reissue Fender strat with alder body and rosewood fingerboard, 6100 frets, compund radius 7.25-12.0 radius
Right now the guitar is way too dark sounding. I chose pickups that were way too dark and overwound since I am a usually a humbucker player, playing in a hard rock band.
In the neck and middle are SSL-5 Custom staggered, middle is RW/RP, in the bridge is a SSL-3 Hot with callaham baseplate.
Guitar also set up with .10's, want to go back to .009's easier.. to bend and play on higher frets, we also tune down a 1/2 of step in E flat....
For clean neck tones: Eric Johnson, Knopfler, Malmsteen, Hendrix, SRV, Gilmour, The Edge
Overdrive neck tones: Malmsteen, SRV, Gary Moore, Scott Henderson, Kenny Wayne Shepard
Overdriven bridge sounds: George Lynch, John Petrucci, Chris Poland, David Gilmour, Vai
I was thinking about the Twangbanger for the bridge?
APS-1 or SSL-1 for neck and middle?
Or surfers or Texas hots for neck and middle?
Was going to try noisless, but with good shielding, don't think will be necessary and most noisless don't have that strat type quack and chime...
Thanks for the advice in advance...
Steve
