I love this line from their "string test" page:
Thunder thumb picking machine . . . :laugh2:
LesStrat: When you say your Strat doesn't sound like a "Strat" anymore, I assume that it also doesn't really sound like a typical dual-humbucker LP or similiar. Could you characterize what it does sound like?
(Or is it truly unique?)
BTW - I went and played the Peavey Generation in the store today . . . I'm getting one on Friday.
(Ooops . . . I said that wrong, they had to order the one without the ACM bridge.) :yell:

Hmm. It is pretty unique, but it definitely has LP tonal characteristics. The three pickups in current configuration have distinct tonal differences. The guitar is really dark and fat sounding, especially with the HR/CR/HR setup. It sounds NOTHING like a strat. One day I'll find the time to figure out Cakewalk enough to give some samples.

Good question. The PG 8000-00 is the newer ferra glide saddles. Seems like hype to me to have to pay +$50 for traditional steel saddles with a small graphtech insert which the string passes over.
The PS 8000-00 is the standard String Savers. That's what I would recommend. For about $30 you will get better sustain and clearer tone, and if you have a problem with string breakage then this will clear that up 1000 fold. Also provides a betrter environment for tuning stability especially if used with one of their graph tech nuts.
