I’m looking for the classic active tone, like what you usually hear with EMG’s, but that tone always seems to be connected to a Les Paul, or similar guitar. I have Strat I can mess with, but I don’t think the tone will be the same. Are there any artists or online clips I can listen to to get a...

Is it possible to achieve this tone with a Strat? [Alder+Maple] http://home.comcast.net/~gprause/Side_Bullet.mp3 I've experimented with a couple of SD pups and different setups in Guitar Rig, but I can't quite seem to get there. The current pickup is a JB, but I've tried a '59 and a Pearly...

Is it possible to buy this pickup with the SD logo on it? My other pickups have the logo and it would be nice to keep them all the same. (That's the semi silly part) The products page says it is an option, but I haven't found any online. How would I go about getting one?

I’m building a H/S/H strat and wanted to build in some fun stuff too. I’m just not sure if I’ve gone too far. My setup will use a JB, an SSL-1-RW/RP, and a Jazz neck. Positions 1,2,4,&5 are straight foreword. Position 3 gets a little hairy. I wired position 3 using the south coils in...

I have a wiring plan that I may try, but it will require 3 toggles. I would like to use 3 conventional mini toggle switches through the pickguard. I could use push-pull pots if I have to, but I would just prefer to have the 3 switches. Is it possible to mount 2 DPDT toggles, 1 3PDT toggle, a...

I am in the process of putting together a H/S/H Strat with a SD JB bridge, SSL-1 middle and a SD Jazz neck. I also have my first Strat that I will be pulling apart to install SSL-1’s in the middle and neck and an SSL-5 in the bridge. Both body’s are alder, but the H/S/H neck is a Fender with a...

Hi All, I’m putting together a strat with a H-S-H setup. I’m putting a JB in the bridge, a Jazz in the neck and an SSL-1 (RWRP or normal) in the middle. The question I have is about the middle pickup. If I hold the middle pickup (RWRP) to the humbuckers, the magnets will attract to the...

I’m lost and I need help. I’ve been playing acoustic for a while and a friend recently gave/sold me a very nice Fender American with no electronics or pickguard. It has an alder body, a rosewood neck and the stock trem. I’ve researched the electrical part and I don’t think the wiring will be...
