Fast Track II
« on: July 04, 2017, 08:46:44 AM »
Is freaking ROCKING in the el - cheapo Kramer KS-400

The hum bucking mode is very Iron Maiden tone like, and just thick.  I think the Plywood construction adds to the highs.

Split it gives me great single coil tones to go with middle/neck and a nice output balance.

Here's my one and only, a '95 Squier Strat:



Fast Track 1 neck, Chopper middle, Fast Track 2 bridge. Back then the Fast Track set was still FT1 neck, Chopper middle, and FT2 bridge (whereas now they switched the FT1 and Chopper).

To be honest though i often entertain thoughts of replacing the FT2 with a full-size humbucker, maybe a Super 2 or Super 3. I was even this close to going FT1 neck, FT1 middle, Chopper bridge; i have a new FT1 which is still sealed and unopened because i didn't go through with the change.

I had the Fast Track 1 and thought it was kinda boring/bland. How is the Fast Track 2 different?

At first glance I thought that parchment cover on the neck pickup looks weird but at the second I think it makes for a more interesting look than all white.

Have fun with that axe,
Stephan
