Hi all!
I’ve been playing my strat more lately, and part of me is wanting a bit more juice out of the bridge pickup for higher gain, sustaining solo tones. Currently, I have a set of Lollar Dirty Blackface pickups (Special in the bridge, Blackfaces in the middle and neck) and have been considering swapping out the bridge pickup for something like a Dimarzio Cruiser, which I hear work quite well in a strat (Mark Speer and Andy Timmons being my two favorite examples).
Does anyone here have any experience using the Cruiser bridge pickup in the bridge of a strat? How did you like it? How does it interact with the middle pickup in the 2nd position? Any guidance on pot values when putting a Cruiser in the bridge?
