just got my strat back after i had it refretted, refinished, and replaced the electronics(pups, knobs, switch).   sarap talaga strat lalo na pag super low ang action. mines a MIJ 50's reissue with bnew GFS pups.  i actually had to raise the action a tiny little bit.  parang ang daya sobra eh. di ako sanay. :lol:


i'm thinking of putting brass plates under the pickups because i read that it'll make it sound like a tele( almost siguro). i like the punch of the tele and the pickup combinations of a strat. kaya eto nag iisip ng ikakalikot. or pag tinamad at may extrang pera i'm thinking of getting a Dimarzio Red Velvet....or if maraming pera i might get three hahahahaha! what do you guy's think?

gusto ko din sana umorder sa stewmac ng kluson style locking tuners. laya lang ang  graphtec nut at sting retainers kulay itim.  hindi babagay sa gitara ko kasi dilaw na sya( dati black).  and i love the look of the round string retainer of the orignal. Ok ba yung LSR roller nut? would you recommend it?

oorder din ako eventually ng wilkinson vintage style trem with pop-in arm para wala nang ma lu-loose thread. talk about GAS!!!

Long live the STRAT!!!!

I have this Fender Floyd Rose Squier Series neck attached to a Mexican standard body. It is intonated and is always tuned right in the higher positions (near the headstock) But when I play the higher registers, (near the bridge) I find the tuning lowered so I have to bend it slightly when I play. This is very evident when playing Satriani's "Always with you, always with me" (tama ba ung title? heheh) when the verse is played an octave higher after the first chorus. I wonder if my strat's frets are not placed in the proper positions. I noticed this when I got another Strat that plays perfect. I think it couldnt be the setup because I setup my guitars and I have not experienced this problem in other guitars.

What could be the solution? Thanks for readin'
 Dito ko daw ipost!


Hey Its not the intonation?...

ay di ko lang napansin, hehe. tingnan ko next time i change strings.

ok lang i'm happy with the pickups na eh, eto na yung tunog ko, hehe.

middy ba? sa pandinig ko nga medyo scooped pa yung mids eh, hehe. medyo hollow sounding.

sabi ko "fender" hehe. the neckplate serial looks like the ones from greco guitars. so i'm assuming na baka greco body 'to. may decal lang ng fender sa headstock. parang gusto ko nga patanggal eh, hehe. to rid me of the brand consciousness, hehe.

mga pare, educate me naman on the differences/effects of the tuners/machine heads na ginagamit sa Strat. to be honest, i'm really not very particular sa tuners; basta it can hold strings in tune, ayos na for me. usual kong nakikita kasi yung Schaller, Gotoh, Kluson and yung vintage Fender. anu-ano yung differences, pros and cons, etc. ng isa't isa? magandang discussion to since madaming Strat users dito with different setups :)

pare sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam, hehe. i think based on model and history lang kaya nagkaiba-iba ng tuners, hehe.

yung kluson kasi ginamit nila sa 50's and 60's strats. yung gotoh or "modern" tuners, sa mga modern na strats na, like yung standard strat. di ko lang alam yung schaller kung san sha, hehe.

ano kaya kung may waverly tuners for strat? hehe yung butterbean tuners, open back, hehe. masaya siguro tingnan yun.
