A Tale of Three Guitars:

[Inspector #20]

Besides listening I was watching and you looked at home with that Fender too. You just might need a superstrat.

Very observant! I guess 30 years of playing it has something to do with that...but I didn't think twice routing it out....but I was worried working on my Gibson....

Interesting how mellow the humbuckers in the Squire are. At my usual 1/2 gain settings, they sound almost clean!

thats a good thing,you can always turn up the gain.too hot of pickups and it seems you have to back out of the amps sweet spot cause your already oversaturated from the hot pickups

if that makes sence

my recommendation is: if you've got a set of '57s, put them in the SG. Especially if one of them
is a '57 Classic Plus. An SG with '57 Classic pickups is one of the best guitars you'll ever find.
Get rid of the PCB and install good wiring harness, like plenty of us have already said. Once you've got
the '57s in the SG with a good traditional wiring harness, you'll have an instrument you might not sell.

The Schecter needs nothing, it sounds great. Leave it alone.

Put the 490T in the Strat and watch it get a whole different life. Or use the 490R...
Either one would smooth that Strat out a lot. A Gibson pickup adds a fine unique voice to a Fender guitar.

I said earlier that each of these instruments has its own voice, which might be useful for different songs or
performances. That's still true if you follow my recommendations, only more so.

Well, Colonel, I do not know why, but I just commissioned a new, vintage style harness with Russian K40Y tone caps for the SG.....can't believe im still spending dough on it...

I think what you really want to do is send all three guitars to me --- and start over on your quest---
