I was watching a Hendrix video on youtube (Like a Rolling Stone) and remembered why I love the sound of a Strat so much. This one popped up on another forum and I figured for a couple of yards, it's a deal.

If you like the how a Strat sounds, then I'm not sure putting in EMGs is the way to go.

Yeah, it's all in the hands and stuff, but you're not going to get a Les Paul to sound like a Strat because it's not. Heck, you can't get some single coil 60's Teisco surf guitar to sounds like a strat either.

That was my point about the EMGs. It wasn't to slag EMGs. They're fine pickups and stuff, but if you like how Jimi's strat sounds, then it would reason that you'd want single coil Fender-style pickups in it. A strat sounds like a strat because it's got the components that make up a strat.

Anyway, it was just a suggestion and not some shot across the bow about your perceived inexperience with Strats, anything being "in the hands" or EMGs sucking.
