    FT Ernie Ball Axis

    Love the necks on those! Do you need a nice Strat? The 94 Washburn USA Silverado I have with the Surfer II set and Eric Johnson wiring. That neck profile is dead on the Fender US Custom Shop 57 reissue but with a flatter wider fingerboard. Wasn't really trying to get rid of it, but now I have...

    Most unique sounding humbuckers?

    Those are cool. I bought 2 back in the day and sadly sold both guitars with them still in them. Great pickup!

    Down and Dirty Duncan Scooped Strat set Washburn Silverado into my first gen PRS Archon

    First clips with the Silverado and Scooped set live. From Church this morning. This was end of service with me doing some solo fingerstyle stuff on the neck and middle pickups through my PRS Custom 50 head clean side running a Keeley 4 knob compressor up front and my Alabas Ceetus verb in the...

    Down and Dirty Duncan Scooped Strat set Washburn Silverado into my first gen PRS Archon

    Won't touch them. They are every bit as articulate and stable as the Ghoto 510 on my 23 build Kiesel Delos or any guitar that I have ever owned with a real Floyd, Kahler etc. Own a number of the Grover Jackson era Wasburns with the Wilkerson 100's. It's simply one of the most stable, articulate...

    What guitar are you playing today?

    Played the Washburn Silverado out today for the first time in Church with the full Scooped Strat set. REALLY liking these pickups in this particular guitar!! Did some ambient solo improv stuff at the end of the Service today, and they killed running clean with my PRS Custom 50 head and the...

    Down and Dirty Duncan Scooped Strat set Washburn Silverado into my first gen PRS Archon

    Yep on par with a Custom Shop Fender Strat in every way. Grover Jackson was running that Chicago shop at the time these were done and each one was hand built most were custom ordered. Own 2 of these the Blue 95 and a Sunburst 94. These were only built for less than 2 years, they are very rare...

    Down and Dirty Duncan Scooped Strat set Washburn Silverado into my first gen PRS Archon

    Where they really shine is in smooth jazz and also when I need to try and cover a part clean would normally be played on an acoustic. They are also fantastic for gritty blues tones. I may throw up a quick clip over a track or something showing this. They are pretty different from the Surfer set...

    Down and Dirty Duncan Scooped Strat set Washburn Silverado into my first gen PRS Archon

    There is not much out there on the Scooped Strat Set so threw this together. The more I play this set in this guitar the more I like it. For what I do this set in this guitar is a home run! Clean I'm running my Ergo Compressor up front with only my Newnaber Wet V 5 verb in the loop as this amp...

    Scooped Strat set review.

    Different definitely fuller bigger sounding and smoother. More suited to Texas Blues and rock tones and to my ear they feel a little hotter. The bridge in particular is nice. They work very well in the maple neck real swamp ash body Silverado. Not as airy and chimy as the surfer II set...

    Used Fret Doctor on the new Washburn fret board and WOW!

    Good stuff but does nothing to really condition a fret board. You need to get oil back in a dry board and just any oil is not a good thing. I have rescued many guitars from pawn shops that were neglected and filthy with super dry boards after I got the gunk off. My KOA Carvin was by far the...

    Scooped Strat set review.

    I went to a full scooped Strat set in the 95 Washburn USA Silverado I have. Haven't seen much on these so thought I would drop a review. I have a Surfer II set in my other Silverado so waned this one to be a more modern smoother fatter tone but still have the character of a real strat...

    Have 3 SSL 5 singles for sale.

    Came out of the 95 Washburn Silverado I rescued from a Pawn shop. Long leads very clean pickups. I reused the original cover so have the white Seymour covers from the scooped set I replaced them with. $55 each shipped and PP in the lower 48. All 3 were standard so no RW/RP. $150 if you buy all 3.
