Ok, Hello everyone, about a month ago I got a message that my jackson dinky I had ordered, had arrived.(could not decide between a strat and dinky, but since i already had a jackson bass i chose what i knew i like)
And then I see this awesome sale I have never seen before( and happend on the exact same day as I was going to get my dinky), I think its a sale that happens once in ten years or so...
One of those items on sale is a stratocaster, a classic vibe squier I really want so I would have both my dinky and a strat I had a hard time to choose between, ( this sale was about running to the item you wanted as fast as you could and grab it before anyone else would) and I was lucky enough to buy this strat!
It is a candy-apple red 50's vibe strat with coloured headstock and maple fretboard.
Now i have had it for a while, and i feel it does not quite match my style, and just not my tone (im pretty much a hard rock/metal guy)
So I have been thinking of making some small changes, like pickups, I was thinking of just doing a one pickup strat, and since this is a alder bodied guy, i was thinking going for a bit darker tone, kinda like the synyster gates kind of tone...so I am thinking about an Invader (with coil tapping), what do you guys think? I think this strat is routed for a humbucker bridge(hope so) anf was thinking about just going for plain one tone(coil-tap) and...i dont know, maybe a killswitch, or just a volume...not sure what to use as potentiometers goes, if i should use 500k those 1moh or whatever they are called.... Also, any suggestions for what i could do to make the entire strat to look a bit darker? Not as bright eyecatching color, without repainting the whole thing. Was thinking about black pickguard, and maybe a sticker or two...
Want a clear tone with great distortion tones, and not a 100% crap clean tone out of it, im using this strat with peavey bandit, ernie ball 10-52 strings, the current single coils seems to be a bit thin, warm and too ear-piercing on the high end for me...going to play stuff like Avenged sevenfold( loads of leads and much rythm. So would like both clarity and bottom end) slipknot, stone sour, slayer... and so on ( sorry for my looong text guys [emoji16] )
Strat and cavity:
