HSS review

Re: HSS review

On topic (i guess): I would never use black hardware, H/S/S configuration, any color except for black or white, a mahogany body, mixed single coils-humbuckers, any 250k pots with humbuckers, rosewood fingerboard, or use anything but DR strings on a stratocaster. Thanks for taking so much time to write this review, though, it definitely is thorough. I'm glad you like it. I just didn't think making a new thread was necessary for a small wondering like mine. Also let it be noted I hate Fender pickups, all of them I've ever tried. The only Fender pickups I've ever liked are the PG+, and, interestingly, the Tex-Mex Jimmie Vaughan pickups. They smoke noiseless or any other Fender pickups I've ever tried. Fender pickups just seem to completely lack character to me.

This tremol-no and the callaham trem block are very interesting to me. I hate that my strat has a trem, I wish more than anything it was a hardtail. How does installing the tremol-no work exactly? Is it very difficult to install a new trem-block? What would you say is the main advantage of the callaham vs. stock fender trem blocks?

videos on You Tube are probably more helpful though

you can read reviews of the Callaham blocks all over guitar message boards. Their hardware is the best in the industry, better quality steel and better finish than Fender Custom Shop. I have their hardtail bridge and vintage saddles on my hot-rodded Tele Dlx

I'd recommend checking out their site from top to bottom but here is some info about the blocks: http://www.callahamguitars.com/blocks.htm

Re: HSS review

yup

first i sent a warmoth to acme guitarworks, then it got borked on the jig so everything was put in a chandler guard, that didn't fit, so acme replaced it with a warmoth guard.

Re: HSS review

One thing I have to say is that the Diamondback humbucker is one of the best pickups I have heard. I have a stock 2013 Strat and the DB just kicks. I was so surprised at its great, great, great tone.
