Hey guys...right now I have a set of Fender Texas Specials in the ol strat and the middle pickup keeps going out....I've resoldered the thing atleast 5 times and it works for a while, but eventually it quits and i have to take the guitar apart again. I've narrowed it down to the pickup itself i think. So, since I need to get a new middle pickup, I might as well get a whole new set. But.....what to get??? I want something warm! Nothing bitey or shrill!
this last time I resoldered it I touched up the whole 5 way and nothing changed.....then I touched up the pick up...wahlah but who knows?
try carefully scraping a little of the insulation from the thin pickup wire with a razor blade where it meets the hookup leads and then reflowing the solder.
I concurr with the fat 50's. Warm and ballsy, definately not shrill although the bridge does bit a bite with OD (in a good way).
Recently I've put the following combo into my project strat: N - Dimarzio Area 61 M - Dimarzio Area 61 B - Dimarzio Solo Pro Look no further, they match fantastically with rosewood board, lots of warmth, good definition and dead silent.
