Modern Strat pickups usually have a Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity (RWRP) middle pickup so that in Positions 2 and 4, the instrument is more quiet. I've read that older Strats where the middle pickup isn't RWRP sound better in Pos. 2 and 4, but I've never studied it.
The google-box says: "Baroque music, a style of music that prevailed during the period from about 1600 to about 1750, known for its grandiose, dramatic, and energetic spirit but also for its stylistic diversity."
Oh man. I have always loved those Fender Stratocasters of all types. To me, they are definitely the number one electric guitar for everything music as they are versatile. Otherwise, it was great hearing you talk about the Fender Stratocasters.
Another enjoyable video, thanks for sharing! As one who has run the guitar's volume and tone controls on 10 and never wavered for about 5 decades, I truly appreciate your approach! Do you use a Treble Bleed circuit on your guitar's volume controls to retain highs when you roll it back, or would that partially defeat the purpose (in that rolling back the volume can also tame the top end)? Also, if you would consider doing a video showing how you personally approach setting up your entire signal chain from guitar choice, pickup voicing, control settings, effects, amp gain structuring and tone settings, etc., I'd really appreciate it! Thank you once again for the inspiration to do it better!
I believe it's called the Super Distortion Strat pickup. The original SDS-1 was a single coil pickup with bar magnets on the bottom. Just Googled it and there's one on eBay. The seller indicates that the resistance is about 9K ohms (FYI, when you say "ohms", you should be saying "Kohms" or "Kilo ohms" as in Thousand Ohms as that's what typical pickup resistances are). BTW, the newer SDS is a dual rail pickup, so it's completely different.
You're on it Man. Yes I should be saying "K Ohms". The SDS-1 1st gen (PAF) is a "2 wire", 2nd gen is a "3 wire". Mine is a "PAF" 2 wire reads 8.8 K ohms. Live, Love & Play Everyday
I’ve seen you play that guitar twice. I wondered how you got the sounds that you get out of it. You’ve “made it yours”. Incredible guitars are only so with an incredible player. Looking forward to hearing you play it again!
We stopped in at Southside for a quick bite last night and was pleasantly surprised to see you getting ready to play. Outstanding performance. After a stressful day I needed that! I hope you keep coming back.
