How 'bout a STK S10 ??

Thought of those, - and I've yet to try anything in the purple Strat - but another one of the writers just recently reviewed 'em, sorry. Have you tried them? I like them better than his Dimarzio sig models...

[ELVIS]

No, but in reviews the seem to have too much of the clean Yngwie tone for me...

I like the original HS3 the best...

They sound like a stock American Strat pickup but a little warmer with a tiny hint of a humbucker sound that I think smooths things out a bit...

The new YJM pickups are clear as a bell...

I'll find a cheap S10 on ebay...

You might like them... They weren't quite Stratty enough for me...tried them in a guy's guitar when I did the Lang amp demo (which once upon a time I would've posted the video of said test here, but no effin' way now). I like the STK-S6 and S7 best for the neck position. The STK-S4 is an awesome all-around one, using that in the middle position of my Sunburst Strat, and the STK-9B kicks ass in the bridge...


I'd like to try a Twang Banger in the bridge slot too, but someone else also just reviewed that one recently...

I liked the HS-3, still have one stashed for a rainy day....

[ELVIS]

I was going through drawers of guitar parts the other day and I found several HS3's I bought and never even opened...

I probably have 20 HS3's all together...

[ELVIS]

HS3 is also good for recording heavy tracks with a Stratocaster...

[Zing!]

I find this talk equally fascinating and confounding. What's an HS3?

[ELVIS]

Tell ya what...

I bought some Lollar single coils in a loaded pickguard a few years ago and just got around to trying them again and they sound, from initial tests, better and clearer than the HS3 (which is saying quite alot) without being shrill like some custom single coils,, which I hate...

And they're not hum cancelling or anything, but they're quiet enough...

One of the first production "stacked" single-coil sized humbuckers, and Yngwie's pickup weapon of choice up until a few years ago...

I hear good things about Lollars.... Fralins too.

I also have some fralin Woodstocks in an upside down SRV Strat with a Yngwie Signature neck and it has that high treble shrill that I don't care for...

Ha ha. That clears things up. It's all Greek to me. Glad I didn't ask what's a Dickfer.

Heavens no!


Hey ELBOW, since you have a couple of Strats loaded with boutique pickups...

[ashstralia]

Nah, not that bad, it's just fun to flip him shit (back) occasionally.
