I finally got most of my strat together today, so I got to have a quick play. I have a Trilogy suite in the neck, and a "BG pickups" prototype singlecoil-size p90 in the middle (someone on HC sent me that one for free to test it out!), no bridge pickup yet. The guitar has an ash body with maple neck, and I've wired up the tones so that the top one controls the tone for neck + middle, and the bottom one controls the tone for bridge.
I dont think I like the neck Trilogy in this guitar - its a bit too dark and thick for my liking, I want something with more "chime" and glassiness (sorry for the stupid terms, I just cant think of any other way to describe it). In terms of power, I was hoping to get the same kinda push as with my Mule'd LP, maybe a bit less. The kinda strat tones I really like are Gilmore (shine on you crazy diamond etc), Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, SRV etc, you get the idea.
Tim said a Trilogy in the bridge would be good, so I think I'll get that, I just need to decide on a neck pickup really (maybe middle as well, not sure if I like this BG yet). He also recommended the Slowhand - "Slow Hand coils are also nice and fat and can push and amp hard."
Any advice would be great!
