All About Strat

[cacophony]

Walang magawa so pasensya hehehe

Wanted to share some pics of myself with my strats...

My 40th Anniv Am strat Plus, '83 MIA strat (sold to Farseer. Hi Doc!), and my beloved Squire cherryburst standard (sold to Athanvai)


With the Squire. Old gig in QC.


The Squire in its full glory! Kahit squire lang yan namimiss ko yan.


My 40th anniv burst. I just love bursts obviously hehe




Si Johnny - JM sig strat

wow! John mayer limited edition strat! Whenever I think about Fender at Philmusic, the first thing comes into my mind is your username. Pag Ibanez naman, Zasam kaagad. Nice strats.

Wow salamat bro! pero medyo masyadong matindi naman yung naiisip mo'ko. Dapat si Farseer naiisip mo hehehe Salamat ulit! G;ad you enjoyed the few pics.

Maha: yepyep. hindi ko papakawalan 'to. I like the sound of the JM so much better but There's something about a burst Strat that makes it a classic in my eyes. might replace the pups eventually pag nagkaextra.

[georgieporgy]

get Fralins vintage hots or Suhr V60 LP's or Bare Knuckles Mothers Milk.

yeah gas galore!!

[guitbox]

sunburst strats---hay!
ganda talaga!

Anyone here who have tried a 70s vintage reissue strat? Your own review will definitely be appreciated. Thanks

Other than its looks, the sound is really something bro

just cant help it.... i must say "wwwoooowwwww" sa JM sig strat mo sir.

sir ung squier mo?? san mo po yan nabili? prang yan din kasi ung squier na nakita kong reserved sa perfect pitch last april 31 nung kinuha ko ung bass ko dun.   

[jimy james]

if you're using the "classic" strat bridge, try mo i-adjust yung saddles para mawala yung buzz. also baka lubog na yung nut ng aratig mo... kung hindi rin lang shread ang tugtugan mo, i suggest na taasan mo yung saddles sa bridge ng strat mo bro. ika nga ni Jeff Beck, "the higher the action, the heavier the gauge, the better the sustain!" ever wonder why SRV got that killer tone? he uses a gauge 13 on his axe & the action is like 1/4" fm. the fretboard... allen wrench lang katapat nyan bro... good luck!

i know this has been an all-time quesition.. how do we eliminate our 'grounded' sound? or hum? i just had my pups changed to tex spcl. sa amp ko sa bahay la naman grounded sound, or kahit sa luthier ko. pero pag dating sa studio.. lakas.. what is the cause or what should i do?

baka maganda isolation sa studio na pinupuntahan mo bro.

residential areas usually may fluctuations, opinion ko lang naman, baka fluorescent ilam na gamit nyo sa bahay!?

sa bahay CFL ilaw namin.. pag sa bahay or sa luthier ko, alang ganun sound. but sa studio like sa GIG studios, meron.. fluorescent nga ilaw dun.. mmmm.. so maybe its not with my guitar?

help 

pinalitan ko ng bridge pup yung s-s-s strat ko.

dati, pag nasa bridge position at naka open mga appliance sa kwarto may hum (normal sa single coil) pag nasa bridge at mid position wala na hum kasi 2 coil na.

ngayon, (after installing humbucking bridge pup) pag nasa bridge position at naka open ang appliance sa kwarto wala ng hum. pero nagkaroon ng konting hum sa bridge and mid position.

may problema kaya sa pag install ko ng humbacking bridge pup 

thanks

bro na try mo na foil yung pg ng strat mo? actually i did this by myself and it did tamed the beast inside... check out this site.. i got it here..

i hope this will help you tame that beast as well 

[Red_Strat]

Jeibi16, 100% bang naalis yung hum? And may hum pa ba pag ginamit mo with a dirt pedal?

[jeibi16]

@red_strat... malaki improvement sir.. pag naka disto ako meron hum pa din pero tingin ko sa tapang ng timpla ko.. pag binabaan ko ok na sha... dati without the shield maingay na kahit mababa pa lang timpla...

wrong grammar.

anyway for nong's question, I found switching from passive to active pickups a better solution to eliminating unwanted strat noise. tried shielding before but it didn't work for me. there are also "noiseless" single coils that you can try chief or those "rails" hehe.

guys, thanks for the help suggestions. i'll look into those mga bros. but i've noticed, sa bahay walang grounded sound, ganun din dun sa gitarista namin. pero pag sa GIG studio meron.. we think its the electricity. on the otherhand, i'll still check your suggestions.. God bless all!!

What do you mean foil ang pg? Just paste a wide strip of foil sa inside ng pickguard?
