Evan: Pickup suggestion for SD!

[Lewguitar]

How about a 9.5K or 10K stock version of the alnico 2 Antiquity Texas Hot Custom bridge pickup that will be in phase with with SSL-1's, APS-1's etc.?

Currently there are no 10K alnico 2 Strat bridge pickups in the SD catalog and this pickup is one of my favorite Duncan single coils.

Closest would be the Twangbanger but it's a little HOT to get perfect m & b combined tones.

Thanks, Lew

I agree completely. I'd get one in a flat version for my bridge.

On another note I think a 10k A2 humbucker should be in the works as well. That's what I'm wanting to get wound! :wink:

Yeah, but could you shred with it?

If you were in the market for that pickup, would likely be inclined to shred? :laugh2:

How about foregoing tradition and making the polarity/wind direction the same on ALL Duncan pickups. Nothing's more frustrating than wiring up a guitar and realizing two Duncans don't jive together.......pull the guitar apart again, solder the black/silver, and green as hot.....headache. One time I bought an old set of Duncan single coils and realized the middle WASN'T rw/rp......why would a strat set EVER come like that?

GJ....Get yourself a magnet/polarity tester from www.stewmac.com
It doesn't solve your electrical problems,but it does solve magnet polarity issues.

Are you saying that folks who go for the lower output pups don't shred?

I mean think about it, that's the same DC resistance as the screaming demon, and that's its forte.

cause if i understand right the first strat pickups were not reverse wound in the middle. they only had a three position switch too.

As of '74 Fender was still fitting Strats with three identical 6K pickups. I don't when they started using the RW/RP middle but it was still a few years off in 1974.
