I am building a Strat shaped guitar with tele hardware and pickguard. This is gonna be a shared guitar between me (strat) and my bro (tele). Im definately gonna have a Mississipi Queen bridge with a voice switch (i talked to tim about this at Music Live so hopefully it nwill be feasable) and then a strat middle and tele neck pups. Electronic wise, it will have a 4-way switch, the voice switch and a Sam/Joe switch. This will switch between the neck and midle pup goiing into the 4-way switch.

Which Tele neck pup will match the Mississipi Queen brdige?
Which Strat mid pup will match the Mississipi Queen brdige?

Thanks for the help

Best Regards

I have a Slowhand middle strat pickup with my tapped MQ bridge. In the neck I have a mini-mule. Not sure which tele I would go for, probably the Yardbird.

Whats the slow hand like? Already got a yarbird so i was thinking bout the Boss.

I want to try the strat pup out of phase with the MQ after hearing someone with it. Cheers philking

Hi Joe, I like the slowhand more than the Irish Tours I have. As Tim says, it is the British sound not the Texas sound. Think more Blackmore/Tony McPhee. I still like the Apaches for the classic strat sound though. Cheers Phil
