The FL's are little punchier in the midsQuestion about single coil guitars: I have a great 2 humbucker guitar (Vantage) and I have a Schecter/Jerry (3 super 2's, buffer, OBEL) that nails the Jerry sound. What I'm wanting now is a three single coil guitar. I was wondering what you would suggest. I've been specking out a carvin neck through, hard tail, strings thru, with 3 single coils and a 5 way lever switch. Totally strat style except for tremelo, which I don't need. It's around $800. I've also been looking at hard tail strats and tremelo strats around that price range. Actually a bit more like $1000 (seems Fender costs a little more because it says Fender on it). What are your thoughts? Any suggestions or recomendations would be greatly appreciated!

I think they are worth considering in your quest for hard tail! Or maybe a parts-caster thru Warmoth!wleeds wrote:i'm lovin' the SUHR FL's in one strat and 57/62's in another.

Alder covers a lot of ground with a strat.hippieguy1954 wrote:Mr 54, have you considered looking into Tele's?

American Standard Strats were selling new for $950 2 years back so should be able to find them < 800 used! Just some thoughts!
hippieguy1954 wrote:Mr six, Thanks for your thoughts! They are good thoughts indeed! Yea that is a nice set up also, but I'm not a big fan of that particular neck pup or head stock. I'm obviously not a Tele guy these days. Also, I have a friend that has that set up only with a super 2 in the middle. Sounds great, but I'm likin the strat set up more...just wondering if a neck through, set-up like a strat hard tail would sound more like a "Wolf" than a blocked tremelo, bolt on neck strat. Or are they so totally different sounding that it's apple and oranges. I haven't played a tremelo strat in some time, so I'm tryin to remember and figure it out. Might have to take a trip to a music store and compare sounds, but they won't have the Carvin. I'm thinkin the Carvin would sound better because of the neck through, but I'm not sure...yet.Yer welcome, dude!!! I know, us Tele folk are few and far between, LOL!!! I like both bolt on and neck thrus but can't tell much of a difference. However, I do find that a hardtail bridge sounds different than a blocked trem. And I think Wolf sounds hard tail to my ears. Well, that's just in that rare time of really attacking the instrument like wild man of borneo and you don't hear the out of tuneness
