What p/u do you normally play at?


Depends on what I'm doing, especially since i upgraded with push/pulls, but i usually tend to play mostly on the neck.

Anything DiMarzio will be brighter


Those and SD seem to be the consensus on this thread (which is what i expected), problem is i need to find a bucker that compliments the 2 singles nicely. That'll be a bit of work i think, especially since i cant test out pickups in my guitar.

Does anyone have a guitar with aftermarket p/u set up like this?

FWIW my Mexi Strat (SSS) has a SD lil' Screamin Demon mid, but the bridge and neck are factory American Strat single coils (which obviously also contribute to the sound). With this guitar I have a lot of versatility with the 5-way p/u selector...can solo on position 2 or 4 based on how much meat or twang I want. Since you have the HB bridge, I might recommend this in either neck or mid, your pick.



It's like a humbucker in a single coil

Nice. That guitar looks nice as well.

Not a bad p/u choice. I am looking for something very clean and bright. I'm really leaning towards antiquity II.
