Alright folks... I havent posted here in a long time, but thought it was time to invoke the wisdom of the community! I was thinking about Strat pickups, and specifically what kind of pickups would be good at creating the "Brownie" tone, as heard with Derek and the Dominos ("I Looked Away"...

How's it going. I havent posted in a while, but I thought I'd look for some opinions on the "Five-Two" Strat pickup. I've been using the Texas Hot custom bridge for quite a while now, and its nice, but I feel like experimenting a bit. The other 2 pickups are the surfer Antiquities so I wonder if...

Hey, I'm just thinking ahead to my next possible Strat project (as usual). Does anybody here have a set of Antiquities (Texas hots or surfers) in an ash-bodied Strat? If so, how are they working out for you? I got Antiquity surfers and a Texas Hot custom bridge in my favourite Strat, and I...

Anybody got one of these? I got the combo on ebay. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. For $200 I couldnt pass it up! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260146732221&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=016

Hey, I need the advice of some of the experts here! I just wired up my new 62 reissue Strat (with antiquity single coils). It still has no strings, but I plugged it in to make sure everything was working and I find that the bridge pickup makes a very loud, unpleasant noise if I touch it. Even...

How's it going. I'm wondering if somebody can give me some pickup advice. I'm thinking of putting together a project Strat, I've done one before with reasonable results, but now I have more experience and I think I can do a much better job. Anyway, I've heard good things about the Antiquity...
