Re: Fender Buddy GUY
There were 2 versions of his sig Strat. A MIM one with the polka dot paint, 21 frets and no mid-boost and a MIA one that was nearly identical to the early Clapton Strats with Gold Lace Sensors and a mid-boost. I tried an ash (I think) bodied MIA about 18 months ago, and I would have probably bought it had I not come across my McCarty. I was surprised at the amount of quack I could get out of the notch position, and the mid-boost was fun.

I think his strat tone on Living Proof was badass.

Re: Fender Buddy GUY
those fender mid boosts are cool with the right rig but dont work with everything. i have a classic stack+ neck and middle with a vintage hot stack+ bridge with the mid boost and its a great setup into tweed amps or my homemade 12w. not as great into my deluxe reverb

I had an '89 Custom Shop Strat with Fender Lace Sensors Gold/Vol/TBX/Active Mid-Boost and it was awesome tone-wise. Super wide range of tones but capable of that big awesome tone both Eric and Buddy had around 1990. Thing truly was hi-fidelity and roared!!!

I've been seriously tossing around the idea of converting my Charvel to SSS for a couple years. How do the single coil pickups sound with a floyd? Love the look of your guitar!

Re: Fender Buddy GUY
Liked his tone on Bring 'Em In from 2005... didn't get new albums from him in the last ten years. Just didn't get to it, not sure I should complain.
As for Sweet Tea - it is one of my favorite blues albums. I just dug it out a few days ago and were listening to it. There's a video of him performing Baby Please Don't Leave Me live with humbuckers. I didn't like the version, but still, makes me wonder what he was really using in the studio for Sweet Tea.

Re: Fender Buddy GUY
Thanks! It was nice when I had it. The singles are fine with a Floyd; better control and tone with a Big Brass Blocked Floyd IMHO. I've had a couple set up that way (other one below) and they were fabulous.
