The Pickup Place / Strat pickups that don't sound single coil
« on: October 16, 2016, 08:33:36 PM »
Hello new here.

I building a strat that I do NOT want to sound like a strat. I have a strat I built with a MIM body, Warmoth Gibson 24.75" scale neck, Fender 57/62 pickups, all new wiring CTS/Switchcraft etc. I have the single coil sound I'm happy with. The reason I building an identical strat (except for the color) is the feel. The one I built plays/feels really good to this old man and his hands so I want one just like it only with a different sound. The Mim body is routed H/S/S and I really don't want to route the body.

My amp is a Peavey Delta Blues 210, I have a few pedals; Boss DB-2, Fish and Chips Eq, HPB-1 boost, MXR dyna comp, H2O delay/chorus. ALL of these I bought USED on ebay.

The music I play is classic/Hard rock, blues and at times some country. I'm restarting my playing after a long period of not playing electric. I played acoustic more recently but the electrics are easier for me to play.

I emailed DiMarzio and they suggested;

Bridge - Air Norton S
Middle - Satch Track OR Chopper
Neck    - Pro Track

I also found pre-built pickguard that has;

Bridge Fast Track 2 OR the 36th Anniversary PAF full size?
Middle Fast Track 1
Neck Pro Track

Give me an idea with of these or more suggestion what will give me a sound I can live with. Just so it's NOT single coil sounding, and probably nothing really HOT for the music I play.

Thanks

Tony
