TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 So I picked up this 70's Japanese Strat copy from Imported Instruments the other week: It's a great guitar, the neck plays really well and it sounds great. Heavy as hell though! My only gripe is that the bridge pickup sounds pretty lame, so that would be the only thing I would upgrade. Any suggestions? I'd be happy to fire in some kind of high output pickup, to really make my biddly boos punch people in the face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Quarter pounder sounded ace in my old strat's bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'd go for an alt'88 if I needed a single coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Quarter pounders are loud so check if it'll match the other pickups first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fertuiee Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just landed this for an absolute steal. First Act Lola Custom Shop. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fertuiee Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Yeh, doesnt get here until mid-week but pretty chuffed. Heard that First Act Custom shop in Boston had closed and that there is a whisper of the luthiers working with Kurt Ballou and his "God City Instruments".? dont know if anyone on here can verify that?. Was trying to do some research on them on the net and its pretty limited to folks swearing at each other on forums.

FatHand Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 This is my current studio set up. I'm pretty pleased with the work flow and tools available although I think I may be some kind of electricity addict. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givemeasmile Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Does it piss all over <insert other brand of guitar>? Yeah, of course it does. Anybody that has a different taste in instrument is wrong. I had one not long ago Daryl in limited edition rosewood with the et pickup system fitted. Sounds fantastic and now love the size too. And I'm a big guy. Looks like I am playing a ukulele. Size didn't bother me, it's only for picking up and playing when I'm at home (every other acoustic I've owned has been shite and for that reason never got played). Doubt I'll ever take it to the stage, but because it sounds so good I wouldn't have a problem in doing so should an acoustic track ever happen.
