Title: pickup suggestion for strat
Post by: dean111music on February 25, 2012, 07:50:03 PM

Hi,

I was wondering if you can recommend me some pickups.....



Just to let you know I have this guitar



http://www.guitarandampshop.co.uk/ac...ic_Guitar.html

i find the stock pickups a little weak and dull sounding to my ear. So want something a little brighter but more powerful

Slab board rosewood, with alder body. Nitro finish, vintage pickups (not hot, bridge pickup weak)

What set would you recommended for something more powerful and brighter sounding?

something like...

distortion

Tone in the video: Irish Tours. For John Mayer-tones: '63 Veneer Board Set or Mothers Milk. You can get close to these with the IT's too, just roll the volumeknob a tad back.
Order the bridge with a baseplate for some extra oomph.

Irish Tours, possibly a base plate on the IT bridge pickup, sorted. :)
