The BGflat50 works particularly excellently with the Irish Tour neck - the two could have been designed to go together!

Post by: roland_rat on May 31, 2010, 10:07:15 PM: Glad the pickup swap has worked out just as you intended. (I think I need to stop faffing and get one orderded!)

Two nice looking guitars too.

no, its still the original squier neck. quite happy with it actually, its a nice guitar

edit: i did change the neck on my 70s reissue strat though with a wezv one..

yeah, its a good combo - the inbetween position is particular nice - very fender surf sound. the slowhand works better than the irish tour did. i have 3 very usable and different sounds. the cyclone is a bit of mule, so i might put them in something else, but the two pickups will stay together. i like the cyclone :)

regarding the jolly roger strat, it sounds ridiculously tasty!

Post by: AndyR on June 01, 2010, 11:03:12 AM: Nice one :D

I was keeping quiet until you'd given them a go, but I had a feeling that the BG Flat 50 and an IT neck would be pretty much "oh... yeah..." :lol:
