Title: BK's for Ash Bodied Strat
Post by: JamesHealey on February 03, 2006, 07:26:01 PM

Any suggestions for a really nice tone in an ash stratocaster with an ebony board/maple neck.

really looking for something thats suitable for high gain riffing and lead but i dont want something too sterile i've got some Miracle Man's in my ESP which are absolutly phonminal in that guitar but i want to try something different has to be warm get aggressive and sing.

I have a VHII in a similar Strat that I love. The only difference is that mine has a maple fingerboard instead of ebony. Sounds terrific.

An Emerald or Abraxas may be your thing. Or if you're talking single coils, you could go with a Sinner bridge with Trilogy neck and middle.

strictly HSH combination.. Im going for the Irish Tour in the middle.. no doubht about that the VHII's seem to be really appealing since van halens tone is such a hallmark.
