Von Herndon Loaded Stratocaster 'H-H' Pickguard:

Inspector #20

Inspector #20

Ambassador of Tone
Fallen Star
Country flag
The pickups were experimental designs made for me by a private winder in SoCal. 17/16k with allen pole pieces like a DiMarzio. We made 6 of these - 3 went in my Ibanez DT555 Destroyer, 2 are in this and one was given to a music student. I think we used Alnico VIII magents on these. Wax potted too.

The harness uses CTS pots, 2 tone and one master volume with K40Y PIO tone capacitors - .033uf/.015uf - cloth wiring and a full aluminum RFI shield.

Should make one helluva Super Strat...

We're thinking alike!

I enjoy fat Strats and Teles, myself! Lots of fun with tone shaping.

Gibson Classic '57s in this one

Fat Tele... also with PAF Masters (I like the crisp, sparkly highs from these pickups!)

I did something similar years ago when I put a set of EMGs in this haggard chunk of Chinese....instrument. It was never as sexy at the ones posted up upthread though. Ultimately I deemed the EMGs too good for that guitar lol
I did play the poop out of it for years though

I had an HSS pickguard with a Dimarzio SD at one point. It was too good for the guitar plus I hated the tone on this guitar. I've been thinking of going SSS with Tex Mex p/u.
