Quarter Pound Strat or Hot Rails

Re: What for strat???

I'd suggest a tapped Quarter Pound - that way you effectively have two output settings. The tone gets a bit warmer when it's tapped too. You can use a push/pull on one of the tone pots for the coil tap.

On my MIM Strat, I ended up putting a steel base plate under the QP. That gave it more mids & low mids emphasis and made it beefier/warmer (hard to put tone into words sometimes).
