I'd like a few suggestions please re pickups.
I have just re-finished a Strat. Japanese model 62 rosewood neck.
I already have one Strat with E.M.G's so I have got quite a punch in those. I also have a Les Paul for out and out crunch, so I would like something in this one, that was fairly vintage in sound, but with a bit of extra kick in output.. Warm but also with a nice bright top when I need it.
I have asked this question in the Strat forum and lots of people have mentioned Van Zandt... Trouble is they seem very hard to come bye over here in the UK, plus they would probably cost a mint....... Everything in this country costs a mint..
I was thinking of Semour's vintage staggered for Strat.. Anyone got any idea about these and how do they compare to the Van Zandt's.
I would use this guitar for Country rock... Blues..General middle of the road stuff.... No heavy metal....
Any suggestions guys... regarding a complete set or a good mix.
Thanks,
Phil.
