I love HSS strats, but it really needs a white HB with the white guard. Do they still use the PG+ ?

That looks stupid with that black humbucker.

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

Don't care for the black HB but I'm more concerned with sound. Cool that it splits the bridge if you want to go to SC.

I must be the only one that likes the look of the black bridge pickup.

…a huge-sounding black-bobbin Fender Twin Head humbucking bridge pickup…

Nope, it's not an old-style Lonestar.

The black humbucker might be okay if the other pickups were black; but as it is now calls for a double cream humbucker.

I don't like the big headstock.

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

i like the big headstock, but i'm not sure why they would crudely place a black humbucker with white singles.

but at least they use an F-spaced humbucker in it now. not sure whose idea it was for the strat-exclusive PG+ to be G-spaced. not that i'm complaining, since i love the PG+ with proper string spacing. it doesnt matter so much if you keep the pup away from the strings, but it makes a big difference when you keep the pups close to the strings like i do.

I prefer Maple w/ lake Placid blue. Rosewood is nice also.

Throw a nickel cover on that ***** and let her rock. Big headstocks are awesome.

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

I think it's hot. Black bucker n all.

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

I like the big headstock. Throwing a black bucker in there is just laziness on Fender's part though.

I doesn't matter though because I'll swap it for a PG+ anyways which is what a REAL Lonestar Strat should have.

 

[Gearjoneser]

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

Yeah, that's the best finish out of all of them. If I had it, there'd be a nickel covered Whole Lotta Humbucker bridge in it.

Really? :lmao:


Needs a white PG+ and a pearl pick guard.

Re: New Lonestar Strat...Sweet

Some very high end guitars used to come with a black humbucker and off-white covers on the single coils. Not saying I like that look, just that some guitars did come that way.

Never took you for a Strat guy, Bob. I have to compliment your taste.
