TalismanRich Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I use this forum with an iPhone. The originator of a thread is not shown once it's been replied to. I saw the title of this thread and hoped it would be you, DB Welcome home. Does anyone use a phone for talking anymore? DB, Excellent move, young man! We knew you couldn't go without a humbucker setup for too long. Man does not live by strat alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew you couldn't go without a humbucker setup for too long. Man does not live by strat alone! Man cannot... but I have only used a strat once on stage... I've been using my Epiphone Dot exclusively because of the humbucker growl I get from the Seth Lovers in it... After dialing in my Strat last night, that might change, Texas Specials can do that to a Strat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the Tex-Mex too. Haven't tried to many others, but they work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Heritage has the nicest shad of blue on their guitars and that one's no exception. Nice pickup combo, warmed up and ready to go. Just right. Congrats to both on a good HOC transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love the Texas Specials, my favorite strat pup I think. I've been trying to figure out which strat pup's I've tried.... MIM Standards, MIA Standards (pre 2012), Eric Clapton's Vintage Noiseless, SCN's, EMG actives, Texas Specials, Tex-Mex, and custom shop 69's.... Out of those few examples, the Texas Specials sounded the best to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love the Texas Specials, my favorite strat pup I think. Different strokes for different folks! I once had two 62 AVRI Strats, one with Texas Specials, and one with the stock 57/62 pups. Believe it or not, the stock pups had more balls than the Specials. However, neither one could compare to the Rio Grande Tall Boys that were originally in the Strat that had the Specials in it! Those pickups are incredible. Sold the Strat with the Specials and have the one AVRI now. I really like the chimey and pure strat tones I am getting out of my RW strat with the LIndy Fralin Vintage Hots. DB, you need to play it at PSP and judge for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 When did you get a tele? about a month ago. I didn't post it 'cause I haven't taken pics yet, and have been waiting on the Fralin noiseless pups - just had them installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the best after market pup's are Fralins for the single coils. One day, I'll try them out... Just not yet. Can't wait to hear (pun intended) and see the pics!
