pics of strats with angled humbuckers?

Thinking of ordering a new strat pickguard with an angled humbucker at the bridge and wanted to see some pics of existing strats with the same setup.

So let's see your angled bridge humbucker strats!

Are you doing this for looks......I mean there's no need for tone, with f-spaced or trembucker pickups available now.

Yeah, I know... just doing it for the look.

Well, it's not a true Strat nor does it have a p/g mounted pup, but anyway...

1986 RG410? I want one of these. That thing is sweetness and it looks like it's in pristine condition. Very nice!

That's the model. Mine's a bit of a partscaster - I bought it just as the neck and the body, had to get the hardware separately. It's different from factory in that black ones came with chrome hardware. I wanted a pink or red one but hey... It's got a PAF Pro in it.

Cool guitar on the whole. The neck is one of my favourite things on these, very comfortable Stratty type with a flat radius. I have 9s on it in Eb, so it's stupidly easy to play.

1986s RGs in general are sweet, regardless of model. I'd love a wine pearl RG530.

Angling the PU will affect tone due to the fact that in doing so it is sensing different points of the strings then if it were positioned 90* to the string as standard.

Oh, and that RG is HOT!

^^ :cool2:

Fwiw, the PAF Pro is trem spaced; the poles seem to line up better than with a regular spaced pup, even with the tilt.
