Besides to be gifted with his fingers & talent (and gear), would the Antiq. Surfs be the best bet to approach that 'Sultans of Swing' type of sound that Knopfler gets in which is presumably that #2 or 4 position? What about Antiq. Texas Hots? What kind of guitar & pups is he using here...

Having recently been reunited with my beloved STRAT, with early 60's rosewood neck, I am ecstatic to claim that I have re-realized one of the reasons I love this guitar. Of the many pickguards that have resided in this axe, the one in there now is just so, so cool. It contains a Little 59-1b, a...

Other than that stellar sounding clip on Youtube of the Tex Hot neck & overdriven bridge pups, I haven't been able to locate any demos of the bridge & middle position pups doing the clean thing... Are they capable of the heavenly middle sounds similar to that of the Ant. Surfers???

Possibly looking to do a Mini HB/S/S build with some Ant. Surfers, and wanted to know how these two Mini HB's differ., and what I could possibly expect to hear. I def. want a dominant sounding bridge pup, BUT not overpowering, and hopefully a nice #2 pos. sound. Thanks!!

I had been thinking of a P90 or Phat Cat in the bridge with the SC's in the mid & neck, but the Anitquity Mini HB or the Seymourized Mini might be worth a listen. How do the Seymourized & Ant. models compare? I'd like to achieve a nice sounding #2 position tone, while still having my Strat-like...

Is it solely the aging process that the Antiq's go through, or what? Thanks!!

Of the BIG name makers (Lollar,Fralin,SD,Rio,BKP,etc...), which have proven to be the best sounding pup's,,,, or did I just name most of them?:banghead: I'm looking for a nice thick, but not too overpowering, bridge pup to match well with some SD Surfs, or something similar, in my strat body?

I lost all my notes and I knew I had the name of someone big,, NOT WD. They offer HSS's but not for P90's. Thanks!

WOW!! What an amazing sounding neck pup! Now my decision to go with the Surfs or the Hots is all the more harder to make. Bottom line, am I going to lose those sweet & quacky middle pos. sounds that I've heard from the Surfs by going with the Hots? When I hear the Hots being described as...

I've been hearing more & more about these, found their website, and wanted to know more about the company & their products from you folks! The V60LP's might sound nice!! thanks~

I've had this pickup for years, and I have grown very accustomed to it, but tends to overpowered even medium output middle & neck pickups,,, and that's with the p/u seated pretty low in the body. So, without replacing anything just yet, is degaussing an option for 'taming' the fury of this...

,,,or at least with a very subtle curvature? As I am unable to reach SD directly, I'm posing my question to you folks!! I assume, if available this way, it would be a custom order, but do you think it is an option, and if so, at what premium?? thanks!!

Either a P90 with Surfers (or SSL1's) OR an Ant. Mini HB with the same SC's?? I play mostly clean, using amp & pedal for O/D, and like everyone else, I love those 2 & 4 position sounds, but with a 'ever so slightly' more pronounced bridge position. Sorry for any redundancy in my post as I try...

With both of these claiming to offer 'vintage' Strat sounds, what's the big diff's and which would offer sounds perhaps reminiscent of Jerry Garcia's pre-Alembic, unmodified Strat days of the early 70's, with sweet 2 & 4 pos. sounds? Also, I may want to go with an HSS set-up with either a P-90...

Has anyone ever paired some Surfers or SSL2's with a Mini HB in the bridge? I'd love to hear the results! thanks
