Hello, I'm new to this forum and just getting my music life restarted after a long layoff. I have an 07 Squire Standard Stratocaster and a Fender Blues Deluxe RI as my main setup and am quite happy with it. However being an incurable tinkerer I have a Squire Affinity Strat project going. The Affinity was given to me with a busted pick guard and missing bridge pup. I picked up a used little 59 b and a Vintage Rail n locally. Currently using the stock middle pickup. With this setup I could cut glass. Especially with the 59. Rolling back the tone knob on the guitar just creates mud. I can get a reasonable tone tinkering with the amps EQ but its still not satisfactory. Being a Gibson person in my former life I'm having a hard time getting used to the volume knob position. Keep bumping it up or down when I'm already struggling through a solo. I made up a pickguard with just the two lower pot holes and have it wired in a master volume and tone scheme. The pots are both 250k audio taper and matched within 5%. I used an .047 tone cap as per the SD wiring diagram for a single tone setup. Before I tear it down again and try a .022 cap I'm looking for other suggestions to tame the beast. Replacing the pups as my meager budget allows is not out of the question but won't be happening very soon. Any and all suggestion welcome
Rock on !!
