That's what a buddy of mines 1978 start looks like. It's a bit heavier that most strats I have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted April 24, 2020 Members Share Posted April 24, 2020 Pickups are very sensitive to certain woods. I have a H,H,H 1984 Randy Rhoads / Jackson, Made of Ash, a Seymour Duncan JB and a Bare Knuckle Nail Bomb pickups were simply not cutting it. Oddly, those pickups were too trebly , so I dropped in a Dragonfire Quad rail pickup and it worked out fine. Some times, certain woods change with the volume changes. On tube amps, some tone woods compress differently when you raise the volume, increase the gain or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sound like an old superstitious Bluesman using this term .... It's has everything to do with the mojo / magic of the pickup. Then , you have to consider the material the bridge and the nut is made of, the distance of the pickups from the bridge , the caps / pots and what kind of ohms / Henries are in the pickup ....
