Think it's be worth putting a Dimarzio Chopper (from what I'm reading it's the closest to an SDS-2 in songle coil size?) in the bridge and staying with my stock pups on my American Strat? Also...how should I let someone know what I want in setting up my guitar? The last time I got my guitarset up (the way it currently is) the dude made it too low and bending anything beneath the 5th fret is really difficult. thanks
Regarding setup I see there are 3 main requirements:
1 - listen to your needs as the player
2 - advise how they can or cannot be implemented
3 - proper setup
Honestly, if you have a tech that won't listen to you nor advise you properly find somebody new.
My local shop has a tech who is talented. If all you want is a shredder guitar with insane low action that buzzes badly but you'll never know because you have to play it through a high distortion amp. The dude cut my nut (sounds bad, huh?) so low that I needed to get it replaced and the neck's relief was just freakin' off and didn't feel good at all.
Took me a few trips around before finding somebody 50 minutes away who does good work.
