Members reaper Posted May 8, 2005 Members Share Posted May 8, 2005 I have a schecter gryphon guitar and the stock pick ups are pretty weak IMO. They are duncan designed pick ups and they have coil tapping. When tapped to single coil mode my squier strat sounds better with STOCK pick ups. The squier has more sparkle and is brigther, i know my guitar is generally not as bright as a strat but the sound is ridiculously bad. The humbuckers have a decent crunch though which is tolerable. It also has an incredibly dry sound which again doesn't happen with my strat. So i was wondering which pick ups that can be coil tapped (don't know if all PU's do this or only certain ones) will get me as close to strat blues tone and Gibson crunch. I much prefer strat tones so i would like to get closer to that than gibson crunch but i'd like both if possible. Also i want only medium out put, no high gain PUs. Any suggestions? No price range really, within reason. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sarricola_Sauce Posted May 8, 2005 Members Share Posted May 8, 2005 most Dimarzios and Duncans come with the four wires nessasary to tap the coils. I use Dimarzio Air Norton and Steve Special s in one of my axes, the Duncan JB, Jazz, an '59s seem to be popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjpistols Posted May 8, 2005 Members Share Posted May 8, 2005 Try changing them from coil tapped to series/parallel - you might like that sound better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
