Adding 'Thick and Versatile' to 'Quack and Snap'.
STRATOCASTERS
Strat style guitars are among the most modified guitar for a good reason- the basic design supports country, blues, rock and metal while the wide range of aftermarket parts support practically any sound.
​
Seymour Duncan, Joe Barden, Lollar and Dimarzio pickups are among the most versatile pups available, providing direct replacements for SRV drive, hard rock, and chicken pickin.
​
Perhaps the most versatile guitar style on the plannet, HSS strats (Humbucker, Single Coil, Single Coil) can provide VH crunch in the bridge (JB, Custom Custom are great examples) with a mix of classic and high gain tones from singles (Hot Rails, Cool Rails, Cruisers, Antiquities and Duckbuckers).
​
HSS strats open the door to a single stage guitar that does it all- We've had wonderful results with a wide range of Fender, Ibanez, Yamaha and other HSS designs.

Things to do with a Strat?
-
We add blender circuits to get Tele like tones or series wiring for thicker searing leads.
​
-
We add dual rail and stacked pickups to remove hum. We split and roll off coils to dial in entirely new sounds that increase your versatility.
​​
-
Variable tone controls, capacitor replacement, treble bleed and alternate wiring (especially 50s mod ) are common mods that help you find your perfect tone.
