I used to hate strats when I started playing guitar, as I got older and wiser I realized that not everything is about metal, hot pickups and high gain amps. Recently aquired a strat with fender custom shop texas special pickups. The cleans are crystal clear, and overdriven are glorious, specially position 2 and 4.

"As i got older and wiser, i realized that not everything is about metal, hot pickups and high gain amp" Now my rig is a les paul standard into fender deluxe reverb

@dogslobbergardens6606 2 года назад

And you might be surprised at the metal tones you can get out of "weak" pickups anyway. Adding more gain is the easiest part. If you're getting the overtones and such that you like to begin with, you can always add more dirt... and it sounds even better. Many of the high-output pups sacrifice clarity and richness just for the sake of going RAAAAHHHHH! and that sucks.

@baldpaulstudios7023 2 года назад

@@OlaEnglund yea, it totally works and actually the volume knob being raised a bit seems to be better? Not sure why but I use my amps for distortion so I'm all over my volume while playing and it just seems more comfortable and accurate with a a rubber washer under it. Strange how making it more in the way makes more functional and less in the way. let me know if u try it. I had to do it to my Suhrs too . their pots are like free spinning bearing . way to lose.

@CarloRegadasGuitar 2 года назад

I've got a buttermilk Stratocaster, with the Yngwie Malmsteen volume pot from Seymour Duncan installed. It has a much smoother and immediate taper than the stock Fender pot and it's a low friction speed pot, which is highly responsive and a massive improvement. I've been using the Ernie Ball Hyper Slinky 8 - 42 sets lately and really like them on the Strat.

I took it upon myself to eliminate one of the tone pots and drop the volume pot down to the upper tone pot location. In place of the original volume location I installed a low profile kill switch. Soooooo much more comfortable to play and the kill switch is great to have for crazy stuff.

Hey, Ola! The vintage style Fender tremolos work well with a spring under the whammy bar. Stew Mac sells them. It keeps the bar from swinging and puts pressure to keep the bar in place. They are called “Trem-Arm Tension Spring”.

smartypants mode on: For vintage tuners i usually cross over the string windings on the tuner: put two windings of string on, cross the next winding down across winding two for half a winding and then cross it back up again. Works really well in terms of stability.

@dlux703 2 года назад

I had the same issue with my Strat volume so near to the strings. I threw that pot out and wired the 2 remaining pots for master volume/master tone. I filled the empty hole with an extra 5way switch tip, (just superglued it in) and that makes a good reference contact for my right hand/pinky.

When installing a new string you insert it through the tuner and using your index finger you measure from the tip of your index finger and bend the string at your first knuckle. For me provides perfect slack.

@valuedhumanoid6574 2 года назад

On thin sets like those I will tune all the strings a full step higher than standard and play it for a while. The not only stretches the wire but get's everything settled in. You can hear these little "tings" and pops and you know shit is breaking in. The only light set I have found that work on Strats is the D'Addario NYXL in 8 to 38. They really sound good and hold up like no other strings I have played. And Big Bends Nut Sauce on the nut is golden. That's usually where the break and what causes tuning issues. I love that relic job. The idea is to make it look like it's been played, not look like it was intentionally beat up

@Guitarsgunsandghosts 2 года назад

I use dunlop reverend willy's 7s n 8s. Cut a circle of foam that comes with pickups and poke a hole in it and stick it under the volume knob. I did that on my yngwie strat.

@400_billion_suns 2 года назад

The trem arm is rubbing for a couple of reasons: (1) The bridge was originally designed with the intention to lean and float when tuned to pitch. On yours, it's decked. (2) It looks like you're missing the spring that goes into the threaded hole which keeps the bar from going in so far and also gives it some friction. You can get a pack of them for cheap.

Could you explain further? So bend the tip of the string?

@mattgalbraith3050 2 года назад

@@jake-slplss yeah, you just take some pliers and put a little kink in the end of the string before putting it inside the post. It just helps give the string a little friction so it wont slide out while tuning.

@steveweilhart2359 2 года назад

@skxj 2 года назад

Nice Strat Ola, I've always loved Strats and I've always hated where the volume knob is for the very same reasons you and many others have. Tone pots aren't used often in R'n'R and almost never in metal. Strats have 2 tone controls so one gets voted off the island and I move the volume down to the first tone pot hole (middle). The remaining tone pot is either wired for all 3 pups or the front 2 and the bridge humbucker is wide open no tone control. Normally a pickguard change allows me to only drill for 2 pots if not changing pickguard I will hole punch a disc out of same colour pg material and glue it in carefully to close off the hole left. The extra work is worth it in my opinion.

@dogslobbergardens6606 2 года назад

I like the volume pot placement myself (easy swells and adjustment with the pinky) but I def agree about the tone pots. I have never liked or really even wanted to roll off highs on the bridge pickup. I think it snarls better if you just take the damn tone control out of it. With single coils or humbuckers. Neck pups... yeah I admit there are some times when rolling off the highs makes them even "warmer" and that sound is useful for some things.
