hardheartedbill Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I've been running EMGs in my strat style and theyre great for what they are but I'd like to try something more traditional in this guitar for a while, I may just have to buy another stratoid but I really dig the wood on this old Schecter, so lemm know what strat sets you have, not looking for rails or minbuckers, straight up single coils ( I am considering some virtual vintage DiMarzios new but would prefer used and cheap )
hardheartedbill Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 dammit, every time I want to spell "start" I spell "strat", except in the title of this damn post!

hamerhead Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Hey Bill - Are you looking for electric-start pickups, or pull-start pickups? If you're still driving a Big Block Dodge, you'll probably need push-start pickups. nyuk nyuk nyuk...
guitfiddler Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Speaking of starters...Anyone else remember those dumb "wind-up" recoil starters they used on lawnmowers for a while, back in the 60's? You'd flip this stamped-metal handle out of the starter-housing, there was a knob on the end. You grabbed the knob and wound it up (around & around) tight, until your arm was ready to fall off. Said a short prayer, then pushed a little button that released the spring and spun the engine. Actually required more total effort and was more breakage-prone that the simple rope-pull.
