Say about a 1962 Strat. What would you guys suggest...guitar is a rosewood Custom Shop, currently with the 69s in it. Fender? SD? Thanks for any advice and pardon all the questions...this whole changing out pups thing is new to me and rather exciting. Glad I found this place... Tom

I have PRS SC245. I didn't like the pickups in it, so ordered a PRS SC250 Neck PU, and a Gibson Classic Plus for the bridge. I know both these pickups well. The tech put them in today and when I got home, the bridge sounded as expected, as did the neck. But the middle position for both...

If you were buying a new Strat and were back in 1965, what pickups did they use then and what does SD offer that is pretty much the same? Would it be the Surfers I keep hearing about? Thanks Tom

Hey guys, great forum, this is my first post. I've been playing guitar since the Sixties and have owned a lot of amps, but somehow have never ended up with a Marshall, so I'm not hip to which models do what. I have an mp3 snippet of a guitar break that to my ears sounds like it was played...
