Members lilbassdude Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I want to put a guitar together for my brother-in-law. He's mainly a bass player and can play some guitar. What's been holding him back is he only has a classical and a warwick with a warped neck. I want to buy a black squire strat and load it with good pickups for his bday/christmas. I can't find the EMG DG20 pickups anywhere that aren't preloaded into a pickguard and that aren't over $300. My goal is $200-$300 for Gilmourish tones. What can I do?

Members Orange Jackson Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'll leave it to others to fill in the details on this one, but this seems like a pretty good fit,http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvdspedblwiw.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IamBurnout Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 What is regarded as Gilmore's 'tone' didn't come from EMG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IBDBB Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm doing the same thing. I am getting an SX SE black strat $80 and BG phatty singlecoils or v60's $100 I plan on upgrading the nut and saddles right away as I already have the parts.. Tuners and electronics down the road. Grand total would be around $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILikeGuitar Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well you're gonna need a lot of effects so just a guitar wont get him there... But in terms of a guitar, I would get a used CV50s and put a Duncan SSL5 in the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
