BOOST your strat

I took my old mexican strat, took out the bridge and neck pickups and threw in some seymour duncan hot rails. UNBELIEVABLE. if anyone has a stratocaster and they're sick of the skinny sound, get some hot rails. they added so much tone and fatness. best pickups ever.

hmmm, sounds like a good idea. How hard was it to do?

Why not just get some humbuckers? and the whole point to the strat is to get the thin, twangy tone. but i have a hot rails in my mexi strat too. i had it in the middle with two humbuckers in the neck and bridge. that thing is hot. i almost never play it anymore. it's still for sale, if you remember that thread i made. nobody has picked it up.

if you're unexperienced with sotering or unfamiliar with how your guitar works, you may want a technician to install them. also, leave a single coil pickup in the middle so you'll have a choice of how you want your guitar to sound (twangy or beastly).

i would reccommend a technician do it regardless. that way they pay for it if it gets fucked up.

yeah, if I do it I'd get a technician to do it. The only soldering I've ever done was for a sculpture in art, and that didn't work out well. I had to scrap it and start a clay one two days before the deadline.

I've had to fix shit on the inside of my Ibanez with a soldering gun.. the wires inside the input jack were fucked somehow. Worked out well, though, I'd say.

sounds like a good idea... how much did you pay for the pickups?
