Custom Strat: Electronics

Even though I've been playing for a quite a while I really have a limited understanding on the true "guts" of the tone pot, selector and EQ controls.

The SD Pickup folks really helped me to make a quality choice for my custom strat.

Who offers quality electronic packages? I really like the idea of the SD Pickup Booster but would rather something like a EMG A-B booster built in. I've heard good things about Stellar Tone but only saw one pot available.

When it comes to this, I'm definitely a noob. For me, I'm looking for quality tone control(EQ), Volume and 5-way selector and possibly an add on for a boost or any other goodies!

Sorry for being such a noob but I'd like to do a bang up job with this guitar.

Thanks!
 
Re: Custom Strat: Electronics

RS Guitar Works sells some of the best quality electronics upgrage kits on the market. Not sure what they have, if anything, for boost circuits, I've only really looked at their vintage wiring kits. They have some pre-wired too if you don't want to do it yourself.

I just hate the idea of putting 9v battery in my guitar and having to deal with changing batteries and the possibility of it dying mid-performance. I would just get a good, linear boost pedal and an active EQ on the pedal board.

Get the Villex passive booster mate.

They do 2 versions, I have both and they sound fantastic.
I have the jack socket type in my Suhr and Tom Anderson's version in my Anderson Drop Top. ( Anderson has them make his VA booster )

Just enough boost to use when the situation requires it. :opcorn:
