Hello again ;)
I would like you to help me choose the right Strat set for me:
I am looking for a Strat pickups set that will sound (as close as possible) like Robert Cray's and John Mayer's strat sound.
So, I am looking for a strat sound that is full sounding, not harsh, but still CLEAN and with great QUACK in the 2 & 4 positions.
I play mainly funky/soul music, and so I won’t play with high gain.
I prefer to have a crystal clear sounding guitar (with low output pickups) that could also be played with a mild overdrive.
My main playing positions are
* The 2nd (bridge+middle pickup): quack sound (Mark Knopfler, Edge, Phil Manzanera)
* The 5th (neck pickup): full sounding sound (SRV, John Mayer etc)
Also I prefer the middle pickup to be RWRP.
Maybe a list of 4 songs (with clean strat sounds) could help you understand the sound that I am looking for:
1)
Robert Cray - Time makes two2)
John Mayer - Vultures3)
Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) - Six Blade Knife (Unbelievable Quack!!! position 2)
4)
John Mayer - City LoveSo which of your sets do you suggest me??
Thanks in advance,
Elias
