The pickups finally came in. Gonna bring it to the shop tomorrow. I don't have nice recording equipment, or else I would demo the pickups. You'll just have to make due with pictures.
Just ship me the guitar and I'll demo it. If it djents it passes & I'll send it back, if not... well that's an ending to a sad sad story.
So I decided, once my Dingwall Bass comes in I will not be doing anything else until I learn how to play the following solo from around the 1:30 mark to about 2:45 in this video:
8 string. Nuff said. I've already ordered my custom Kiesel 8 string. Should be here in about 6-9 weeks. My Dingwall NG-2 5 string bass should get here in about a month. Can't wait.
I've been listening to a lot of stevie ray vaughan and many other shred-blues styled players, and It makes me want a strat. I've been doing a lot of research, and I'll likely end up with a g&l, like this one https://reverb.com/item/5737110-g-l...zio-fs-1-bridge-pickup-100-mint-new-condition
SRV is lord. You don't need a fancy G&L though. My very first guitar is a Peavey Raptor Plus. It's a cheap starter strat style guitar that came with a little practice amp. My dad got it for me for Christmas in like 2000 and it still plays good. I play it at church every Sunday. You can get a fender Mexican strat for a good price and it's not much less than an American standard quality wise. Unless money isn't a problem then go for the G&L or even a Suhr. Go used though for sure, it's like a car. There's no need to spend all the extra money for brand new. I only buy brand new for custom built like my Kiesel. I can't freakin wait till it gets here.
Oh trust me, I know that you don't have to spend a lot for quality. I've played about every kind of strat there is, thanks to my dad, and I know what I want. 1000 isn't that much all things considered either.
I would like to purchase a single string. What is the best string you purchase. I would like the string.
I need a decent keyboard myself to add to my studio. Nothing crazy, just midi compatible and has some decent piano and pad sounds.
