I Gotta Be Honest - I Have Failed:

- Start date
OP
I didnt want to know which was which so I played clips first and heard it soon as the second clip came on I said this is strat....
I myst say with honest opinion I liked first one more than the second. Second one sounded like flat sounds....
first one was more alive hard to explain but i prefer that over strat.
thats my take on this.
I do prefer the first one - the EMG 81TW!!!
But, I guess since I am kinda stuck with the Warmoth neck that's coming, I should reserve judgment for after the neck goes on.
OP
I feel the same way, but what impressed me was how the waveforms looked so close. Even output was almost identical.
OP
Don't you still have those two Von Herndon pickups in the HH pickguard???
OP
Not nearly as much as before I made the adjustments to the pole pieces. The waveforms looked totally different.
I'm shocked that adjusting the pole pieces made that big of a difference. I have always considered the pole pieces to provide zero influence on tone and output.

Just proves doesn't take much to make a difference.
OP
Very true indeed. I wonder what the new neck will sound like???
OP
The Usual Suspects...
Yes I do
OP
Maybe that would wake up your Stratocaster Squire???
They are 14k x 16k ohm ceramics. I had them custom made for me by a local winder.. The wire harness alone was over $80 from Gary "Tone Man" Standefer. It's Gravitt cloth conductor with CTS 550k pots and Soviet K-40Y PIO tone caps.

It might..Mitch.
OP
The bridge is basically a clone of the DiMarzio Super 2 and the neck is a Super Distortion clone with two rows of Allen hex pole pieces.

OP
I'm skeptical...but the Warmoth neck is coming...
OP
Here's the rundown on the Warmoth neck...

Ok,
Back on 02/19/2019, my drummer colleague and I recorded a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Burnin For You' here in my home studio. This morning, I ripped all the guitar tracks off of it and re-recorded the guitars using YelloStrat through my Marshall Origin 50, direct-out through the Weber Attenuator.
This is just a 2:19 clip
The solo sections were "fattened up" by rolling the tone controls off about halfway...

Let me say that DiMarzio's recommended pole piece stagger made a bigger difference than I expected.
I will throw it on there and see what it does, I have been meaning to do it for a while now , the ones in it at the moment are pretty hot at 14 something right now, I would have to pull the pickgaurd to see the actual numbers.

Vewy intewesting! I listened to the clip numerous times through a pair of old JBL Control 5 speakers at very loud volumes. Volume output is identical. First clip, I hear a hair more low mids than the second clip. Maybe because of this, I hear slightly more articulation between the notes of the chords on the second clip. Vibrato sounds more distinct on the second clip too. In general, the tones are extremely close when comparing to each other. Nice playing too...
