So recently I've been experimenting with different scales. Only scale I really ever play is the natural minor. So I started looking up the different positions for different scales, and I realized that scales like Lydian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, are all within the natural scale (So if I can play...

So recently I've been doing quite a bit of research on making my lead tone a bit thicker. I have an SSS strat btw. Now, I didn't wanna change the EQ too much on my amp because I love the single coil clean tone I get with the amp settings I have, you know for Hendrix/SRV/Mayer kind of sounds. So...

What is the best sounding bridge pick up for a strat that looks exactly like a single coil? I’d like to maintain the look of my strat intact, but would like a pick up that is higher output than the stock in the bridge as I don’t really care for that sound. Not looking for “rail” pick ups either...

Hello, this is my first time posting here. I've had a MIM strat for a while now, and I feel the stock pick ups just aren't doing it for me. So I've been looking into pick ups, and from a lot of research I've come to the conclusion that I'd like to replace them with a Vintage Hot Stack on the...
