Pickup Advice

[dougalhaven]

Hi everyone,

I bought an unfinished Warmouth Strat style guitar and it plays great, but I need to install some pickups. It's been about 20 years since I picked up a guitar, so I don't know squat any more (not that I ever did).

The guitar has cutouts for a humbucker at the bridge and neck positions with a single in the middle. Any suggestions on how to "fill the holes" lol.

I used to have a Fender (1979 Anniversary) and I used active pickups in that. I set it up with an ESP pre-amp and I don't even see those any more. The ESP gave me a toggle that I could use for effect and I really liked having that option.

If anyone wants to write me direct my email is: wonderheart5@gmail.com

thanks,

david

I think about the only supplier I can think of (Not that this is the only supplier) is EMG. They make active electronics and they have boost switches and such.

Is it an alder body??
pretty hard to go wrong with a dimarzio super distortion in the bridge and a super 2 in the neck.....SDS 1 in the middle
