So when it final came down to it….I had to go with the Fast Track 2:



To go in one of these:




I was just feeling the DiMarzio in here….I expect I'll play it split most of the time for single tone.  But I may want to get my 80's metal on!


Going to remove a tone, add a mini switch to split, go master vol and tone, and relic the bejeebus out of it!

I've been interested in the FT2 for a while, but the comments about it being really heavy have kept me away. Looking forward to your thoughts on it.

MAn  - I've only been playing SuperD's for a decade….maybe a TOneZone here or there….


But The FAst Track / Hot Rails (classic SD v DMZ) is in full play.

What I REALLY want is a guitar that has a killer single tone.  FT2 will do that split.  But I want it to be able step up and do the metal if I WANT.  THINK "ROCK ME" by Great white with one guitar.

in parallel FT2 is not hot at all. Combines well with any common SC in the middle. I got Chopper/FT1/FT2 in my strat with the following switches :
- push/pull series/parallel for bridge
- push/pull series/parallel for neck
- addition "add bridge" 2-way toggle
- mod for bridge tone control (without affecting the rest of positions)

works pretty good, but all those components tend to go out of order sooner than your classic simple strat. If I did a new strat again, it would be all white, maple fretboard, 22 frets, bevelled heal, SC/SC/SC, maybe with the bridge tone mod and the "add bridge" mod, for those tele tones.

Thanks.

Not worried about it being hot. Being heavy is a different story. As in, too thick or too beefy for my preferences.

in parallel it is treble sounding. In series not so much. More on the mids.

Aceman, you ever get that up and running?  Been waiting for your comments.

Too busy / lazy to install personally.  Have three projects running.  I'll be dropping it at the shop when I pick up an acoustic.  Whenever that is.

I'm reliving the crap out of the guitar at the moment.
