Title: Robbie Robertson's Strat
Post by: Fubar on August 14, 2006, 09:24:34 PM

The one pictured that he used at the last waltz with only 2 pickups: Anyone got any idea how they're wired in there? I can't see from the pic wether it's got the 3 pots but, as he used tele's earlier on in his career, could he have possibly wired it up like one? I'm currently working on my old Malmsteen Strat and could possibly consider doing something similar (maybe some mothers milk's or Irish tours wired up with a tele 4-way switch style affair?), could possibly produce some interesting results!

Never mind; I found this (http://theband.hiof.no/articles/rr_musician_sep_87.html) in which he says that he just had the middle pickup moved back to the bridge pickup to kinda produce a humbucker, it also contains a pretty amusing story about seymour duncan.  :lol:

Oh dear, what did he start? Maybe there'd be no BKP without Robbie Robertson? :roll:
