    Re: All 3 Strat pickups reverse slant

    I'd be more interested to do a Strat up with a non-canted bridge pickup – all three pickups "straight." I've wanted to try that for some time. I'm talking about it just for aesthetic reasons, mind you.

      @itsabass: me too!

      Done the reverse slant on a Tele Bridge.
      For single note stuff: the high E and B strings of course are nicer-> fuller, less shrill.
      And of course the bass stings are brighter. but i found the the bass strings miss the oopmh and girth I like.
      They kind of don't deserve the "bass"-string name anymore. to me it's kinda whimpy in the bridge.

      chords are also not as broad banded.

      so I reversed the reverse

      i think i would prefer no slant at all, which is not possible on a tele because of bridgeplate availability.
      i will try this on a strat though!

        With all pups reverse slanted the transition from neck to bridge would feel more natural tonally I feel, I have tried the reverse slanted straight & regular slanted bridge pup, each sounds different but I liked the original slanted orientation.

            For us who are lefties, it means buying a much more available and popular RH bridge unit......a win-win!!
