TheBuck Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 hey man thanks thats a lot of help. i didnt know you could get humbuckers that are the same size as single coils. thats cool and youve probably saved me a lot of hassle and a bit of money, so if you see a ginger fucker with tattoos demand a pint! cheers dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bailz Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'd recommend both Hot Rails and Cool Rails by Seymour Duncan. I've got a HR in the bridge position on my strat and it can give you a really harsh sound when you want it to. The CR is in the neck position and gives a very smooth sound. Really versatile pickups.
