Sam 45 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Quick question about pick ups. Do i have the option to put this in the neck or the bridge? Or is it just designed for one spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 The STR-3 is a neck pickup, as the R in STR stands for rhythm. The STL-3 (Lead) is the bridge pickup. Also bridge pickups and neck pickups on Tele's are very different in shape, so I don't think it can even be attempted.Quarter Pounders are great pickups though.

You get ones designed for Teles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I thought the STR/L was just a Tele pickup? Or do they make them for Strats too? My knowledge of Strats is very limited, and all I do know about them is that I just plain don't like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I must add that if it is a Strat pickup, then you can put it wherever you want. The only difference is the output. Neck pickups are lower in output, so it won't be as hot as you might like. I'd personally dig that. I find Strat single coils in the bridge too brash and noisy.

Soda Jerk Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 They are a good option for a bit of beef in a single coil. They sound alot like P90's. God, I love P90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I thought the Quarter Pounder sounded dull and lifeless.Just replaced my 3 pup set with some Bare Knuckle Irish Tours. Those are REAL pickups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
