Hey guys,
Im new to the boards and Ive been reading alot lately on refinishing my guitar and in a sort of way updating it a bit. I just took my guitar apart today and began the stripping process. Its a black 95 Mexican Strat and im hoping on using the supplies from ReRanch to paint it Daphne Blue...im still in the phase of picking the exact color though.
My question was more about the pups. I really dont like the ones i have on now because 1) they dont feel at all powerful 2) every time i adjsut the volume or tone i get this awful cracking sound.
So I was wondering if anyone would give me suggestions as to what pickups are quality ones. I'm looking for a more Jazz/Blues tone but i wouldnt mind being able rip out some heavy metal stuff through the strat.
I was thinking about a set of EMG's because i know the brand and because i figured if they were very powerful i could make some adjustments on my amps setting and get the bluesy tone and then also be able to pull off some nice heavy riffs.
Cliffs notes:
Want to get new pups.
Looking for Jazz/Blues tone.
Wouldn't mind to be able to play metal stuff aswell.
Thanks,
shant
