The Pickup Place / HSS Pickup combination
« on: May 07, 2022, 04:44:33 AM »
Hi Guys,

i am going to build my own Strat guitar with the help of my guitar teacher, as he also has his own small guitar workshop.The body is made of paulownia wood with maple neck and 21 frets ( i am buying a Guitar kit but only using the body/neck).

It should have some versatility, bridge pickup should handle high gain distortion without being muddy. I want the humbucker to have some balance with the two single coils, so it doesn't need to be too extreme. I can make some compromises here.

Middle and Neck pickup should be strat like to play (funk/pop/clean stuff--Ruben Wan covers/polyphia just to name a few). I´m not looking for something vintage, could be something modern but with the strat "feel". I´ve almost no knowledge about pickups because i always used the stock pickups on my budget ibanez guitars. Right know i feel like Dimarzio pickups would fit best but i am still not sure. Oh and i also want to use a tremolo, i don´t know whether this is important to know for the selection.

I would appreciate any recommendations for each position regardless of the pickup brand.

Thanks in advance ! :)
